Welcome to the 2024 Election Cycle! To say that we are in the midst of history is an understatement. What will our County, our State, and our Nation look like in December? I do not know. But what I do know is that it is not up to ME to make the changes we need; it is up to WE THE PEOPLE to make those changes.
That means GET OUT AND VOTE. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
I cannot stress this message enough. We have a year full of community events and opportunities to meet candidates, but YOU MUST come out and be a part of the community AND YOU MUST VOTE. Keep your eyes and ears open as the year progresses. We can and will help you get your ballot to the Auditor's office this year.
YOUR VOTE MATTERS
CONGRATULATIONS to Shane Cagle who was elected as our new State Committeeman at our last KCR Central Committee meeting. Shane has served in many roles with the KCR including Treasurer and Vice Chairman, and we look forward to him stepping into this new role. He is an analytical thinker and brings an objective point of view in even the most contentious situations. Thank you, Shane!
We also want to thank Matthew Langdon for his past several years of being an active part of the KCR and serving as our State Committeeman, representing Klickitat County at the WA State GOP meetings and bringing updates back to us locally. Last month, Matthew resigned due to other obligations. We will miss Matthew's ability to update us on any race anywhere in the country; a true gift.
