First off, allow me to say Happy New Year (ok, I know I’m 24-days late) and to advise you of the upcoming County and Precinct conventions that will be convened in March, where we will nominate and vote on new officers for the 2023-2025 terms, including chair, vice-chair. secretary, treasurer, state committeeman and state committee woman.

In the coming months we will also begin discussing grass-roots issues that will include state and federal matters and how we can influence those issues as a group so we can get those matters back to the local level. We all know whatever is passed in Oklahoma City will have an effect in LeFlore County one way or the other. Issues such as education, using state funds for sex reassignment and the continued battle over the Second Amendment to name a few. Remember, our rights are but a generation of being taken from us and if you would like to spearhead a discussion during our monthly meeting simply reach out to me and I’ll try to accommodate your interest.

At this past weeks meeting I challanged the 28 in attendance to bring at least 1-friend to our next meeting on February 16 at the Patrick Lynch Library in Poteau at 6:30. I know that every one of you has at least one conservative friend, neighbor or family member that should be interested in furthering our goals. If this happens we’ll have 56, then the following month we could have 84, then so on and so on. Our county is supposed to RED and while I know there are probably some registered Republicans that are in name only, but everyone should be concerned where our county, and nation is headed. Change can happen at the local level, but as your chair, cannot do it alone.

May God bless you, your family and the United States.

Sincerely,
Bob Hawley, Chair
LeFlore County GOP
