MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

As we celebrate 250 years of American achievements, let us also look ahead and unite to reclaim Wisconsin.

Delegates, this convention gives you the privilege of endorsing Republican nominees for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer. When you vote, choose leaders who will not only serve our state faithfully, but also inspire us to greatness.

Once endorsed, we must rally as one to win in November. We will strategize, organize, and build the momentum for victory. It won’t come easy; we must earn it. Together, we are unstoppable.

Join us at the RPW State Convention in Wisconsin Dells, and let’s get to work!

Chairman Brian Schimming

 

Will you come?
