The Madison County GOP is one of Nebraska’s strongest county parties and the convention on Thursday June 3 reflected their momentum. Turnout was more than 75 strong, nearly double the turnout of the last county convention in 2008.
The convention program featured speeches from County Chairman Mike Long, who made a strong case for the value of party unity and working together to elect strong Republicans throughout the state, and Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood. Speaker Flood shared his thoughts on the accomplishments of the most recent legislative session, which included legislation for the expansion of Nebraska’s wind energy industry, and the passage of Speaker Flood's priority bill to prohibit abortions after 20 weeks.
In addition to the election of delegates to the state convention, the agenda also included passage of a county constitution, which included a healthy and spirited discussion, and the election of a 23-member county central committee, which should help the county party there stay very active and organized for several elections to come.
