HELP AMERICA VOTE DAY
The Montgomery County Board of Elections is promoting Help America Vote Day on Tuesday, January 30, 2024. It’s a day of action established by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to encourage people across the U.S. to get involved in the electoral process by signing up to be an election worker and an opportunity to share information on how to register and cast a ballot. By encouraging people to become poll workers in their communities, the Board of Elections aims to inspire civic engagement, strengthen our democracy, and to ensure that elections are free and fair.

Maryland Republican Caucus: 2024 Priorities
The 446th Session of the Maryland General Assembly gaveled in on Wednesday, January 10th at noon. For the following 90 days, legislators in both chambers will consider hundreds of bills impacting the lives of Marylanders. Below, we have shared important links to stay connected to this legislative session.
Hot topics will most likely be: improving public safety and juvenile crime, addressing the impending budget shortfall, housing, transportation and environmental and energy issues. For the first time in several years, the General Assembly is faced with a significant and growing budget shortfall and Democrats are hinting at tax and fee increases to close the gaps. Our members will fight against any and all tax or fee increases and will instead focus on cutting spending and holding Democrats accountable for the expensive consequences of their policies.
TURN THINGS AROUND
2024 will be a great year for the Republican party. America needs a change.
- We're going to take back the White House.
- We're going to take back the United States Senate.
- And we're going to have enough of a majority in the US House of Representatives that we don't have to elect a new speaker every six months!
And we’re gonna start that by electing a Republican congressmember in the Sixth Congressional District. We have five great candidates who are working hard, and we’re going to help the nominee.
We have so many groups, Hispanic Republicans, Young Republicans, so many folks are coming to the Republican Party because of disenchantment with the Democrats and their policies on illegal immigration, inflation, CRT and sex confusion in the public schools and tax and spend policies of local government. You can tell the turnout will finally bring the county and the country back to reality.
You're part of the solution. Sign up for the mail-in ballot to bank your vote, volunteer to work with Greg Decker. Volunteer to be involved with the Party with Lori Jaffe. Donate where you can - the Young Republicans this month are looking for help.
Sign up for our next event, the MCGOP Lunar New Year Celebration.
Thanks for being a great American. I'm happy you're with us.

SATURDAY LIVE AT MCGOP HEADQUARTERS
Republican Committeewoman Tracey Humphrey hosted George Gallagher for a discussion of local governments imposing energy restrictions on their citizens as part of the global network opposed to the fossil fuel industry. The room was packed.
More about this issue next week. The Democrat politicians want to ban gas....no, not the type they're responsible for....the kind you cook with, heat your homes and run your cars with. Look for "Gasbags talk about Electrocution."
