93 Counties

Last night I traveled to Fairbury, Nebraska in Jefferson County for the only convention of the day, which also happened to be the last convention of the 2010 county convention season. Chairman Ron Schwab and his wife coordinated the evening's activities, electing 2 delegates and alternate to state, including Ralph Knobel, former chairman of the NEGOP. Jefferson County will have a fair booth this year staffed by the Republican Women and will also be holding a fundraiser later this fall.

It has been a delight traveling around the state, visiting, in my case 11 counties. The people of Nebraska as always are extremely hospitable and welcoming, and I am delighted to have been a citizen of the greatest state in the Union. While there is still much to do as we prepare to "give Ben the boot" in 2012, we are well on our way to having a solid 93 county structure to serve him a clear defeat when he runs for reelection.

If you didn't get elected as a delegate or alternate to state convention or just didn't have time to participate in the county convention process, please consider registering for state convention. There will be many opportunities for anyone, delegate or otherwise, who attends the state convention. Speakers from across the nation will be teaching voter and candidate training workshops. Stay tuned for a special announcement about a keynote speaker shortly!
