How can we get our message out most effectively?

Local Events, Fundraisers, Candidate Forums

Please let our local businesses know how we appreciate their support. These businesses recognize the importance of our mission. Small government and lower tax and regulation burdens are business friendly Republican goals. Please support the following:

San Juan Coffee Roasting Co.- Go see Irene, enjoy a coffee drink, some truffles or ice cream. She is on the Cannery Landing.  Her coffee is roasted locally and tastes delicious. You have enjoyed it at our Red Barn Events, San Juan Caucus and County Convention. So while you are downtown go see Irene and thank her for her generosity. Her coffee keeps you alert even during my boring speeches!
