Our Speakers This Month!

It’s Candidate Speed Dating!

It’s February, the month of love and St. Valentine’s Day, so what a great time to do some political speed dating!  We’ll be hosting various candidates running in the Republican primary so it’s our hope you’ll find one to fall in love with and share your precious vote at election time. It won’t involve chocolates and champagne but it should involve some Q & A and you can find yourself a chocolate donut if the craving hits!  At press time we don’t have a full list of confirmed speakers so you’ll just have to think of it as a blind date and you just might find The One. (Just a reminder, The Red River Republican Women Club does not endorse candidates for any contested races in a GOP Primary.  If someone is speaking at our club running in a contested primary, rest assured that his/her opponent was given the option to speak as well.)
