Our First State Convention Experience: Insights from First-Time Attendees
Rick and I attended our first state convention this year, and what an experience it was. As alternates, we knew it was unlikely we would be called on to vote, but we did a lot of behind-the-scenes research on all the candidates, attended in-person events so we could meet the Secretary of State and Attorney General candidates, and listened in on tele-town halls. We read every email and did our own research on the claims made in those emails. We felt prepared, ready, and able t

Uniting for Liberty: Strengthening Our Resolve in America’s 250th Year
Fellow soldiers in the fight for liberty, Greetings in this 250 th year of freedom in America! As Chairman of the Cass County Republican Party (CCRP), I’d like to take this opportunity to speak plainly on a few matters going into 2026.

Niles Rallies
Today is Monday, and I’m looking forward to another rally in Niles from 11:30-12:30. Standing on the sidewalk by the street, it is so much fun to cheer and wave at those going by.

They are so glad to see happy, friendly peopl

Like so many others around the world, we were horrified to hear of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And like so many others around the world, I kept praying that he would survive.
