WCRCC Spotlight
We Need Your Help on Election Day, November 4!
For the first time in history, the Winnebago County Republicans
are organizing a countywide GOTV (Get Out The Vote) effort.
This effort will take a minimum of 400 people on Election Day to be
election judges, poll watchers, phone bankers, walkers, drivers, and volunteers.
EVERYONE CAN HELP GET OUT THE VOTE!
Please consider giving us just one day, Election Day -- November 4,
to make a difference for all citizens in Winnebago County.
Thadd Loffelmacher and Pam Ratmeyer have committed to lead this GOTV effort.
Simply call Thadd (815-520-8761), Pam (815-222-9840), or Republican HQ (815-387-2874)
