Lincoln and Dawson County Conventions


The Lincoln County Republican Convention was held at Margie’s in a meeting room overlooking the golf course at the Country Club in North Platte. The convention was called to order at 6 p.m. this evening. It began with the introduction of various local school board and city council candidates leading to the key note speaker Don Stenberg, republican candidate for State Treasurer. Once Don was done speaking, dinner was severed. They then elected county party officers and Delegates to represent Lincoln County at the State Convention.

Dawson County Republicans also held their convention tonight in the county court house. After being inactive over the past few years, they elected new county party officers as well as Delegates to represent their county at the State Convention. Throughout the meeting they produced numerous ideas, which are now in the works, including starting a facebook group and web site for Dawson County Republicans. Don Stenberg was also the key note speaker at this convention. He addressed numerous issues our state and nation as a whole are facing. Both county conventions were a success tonight and I am exciting to see what they do next.
