Wagoner County Republican Party Newsletter
Next Meeting Scheduled for Thursday, January 9, 2019
7:00 pm
PRECINCT MEETINGS!
Save the date more information will be sent to Precinct Chairs and in a follow up Monthly Newsletter once it is sent from the OKGOP State Chair.
Precinct meetings and elections are the basis of the Republican Party: Precinct meetings are the building blocks for the voice of the people and grassroots activism.
The specific purpose of these meetings is to:
- Elect Precinct Officers,
- Submit planks/amendments/changes to the Wagoner County GOP Platform, and
- Recommend changes to the OKGOP State Party Rules and State Party Platform.
At the precinct meeting, delegates will be elected to attend first the County and then the State Convention.
If you cannot attend your precinct meeting but would still like to be a delegate to future 2020 conventions, you must contact your Precinct Chair before the close of the week of the precinct meeting. If you cannot reach your Precinct Chair, contact your County Chair.
All registered Republicans are invited to attend. In order to streamline check-in, please bring your Voter ID card or you can locate your registration online and print it out.
We welcome you to these meetings and look forward to seeing you there!
Guest Speaker: Oklahoma State Rep. Tom Gann, Inola-08
Tom Gann and his wife of 39 years, Debbie Chapman Gann, are parents of three children and grandparents of seven.
He was born in Wagoner and grew up in Tahlequah where he later graduated from N.S.U.
Tom and Debbie are members of Eastland Baptist Church and were instrumental in forming a Crisis Pregnancy Center and promoted Abstinence Education.
A small government conservative, Tom has a lifetime of experience as a small businessman.
In 1984, he started his first small business in Ft. Gibson selling gas and groceries to the local community. The business grew to twelve employees until it was sold in 1996.
In addition to his own business, Tom developed other commercial properties which brought new restaurants and an auto repair business into the community.
Over the years, Tom has responded to the call to defend our values and principles.
He served five years on the Ft. Gibson School Board where he stood firm against a top down, socialist, federal takeover of public education known as Outcomes Based Education. He successfully brought an end to the pilot program which had forced the school district to participate in the federal effort.
This experience led Tom to challenge a Democrat politician for State Senate District 3. Tom won 41% of the vote even though Democrats outnumbered Republicans by a three to one ratio.
Tom has served as a Republican State Committeeman and as a past member of the party's platform committee.
Come early and join us at 6:30 pm for a time of friendly fellowship.
