Racine County Wisconsin Republicans, Conservatives, Tea Party DEADLINE

It's time to help!  Racine County Wisconsin Republicans/Conservatives/Tea Parties need to start having a say in their local government and school boards. WE MUST GET INVOLVED.  If you want a say on how your property taxes are rated and spent, here is your chance to do something!

Please consider running for one of these offices.  We need you!  If you are refusing, pass this information on to 5 of the people you think would be GREAT!  If you have questions or need help with signatures, you can contact the Racine County Republican Party or the Racine Tea Party. Nomination papers can be circulated beginning December 1, 2012 - we will help you if you want!  They are due January 2nd, 2013 at 5:00pm

We also have a great FREE information session for anyone committed or even if you are just considering it, please attend! November 28, 2012 thanks to American Majority and "Politics is Local"

ACTION!  December 1st, 2012 you can begin collecting signatures (many positions only require 20 valid signatures)  They MUST be turned in on or before the FIRST TUESDAY IN JANUARY (January 1st this year so I'll find out if the 2nd is acceptable)

Some have VERY generous compensation as an extra bonus (check out Yorkville!).
(some other examples from last year RJT article)

Thank you and let's keep up the great momentum!! (If you see anything incorrect, please email and let me know).



I am personally visiting all of the offices in the County to get information.  This will take a few weeks so please be patient.  If you are INTERESTED in a particular community, please email me and I will gather the information next! If your locality is bold, I have gathered some information and you will find it if you click on it.

School Board information is separate so I am gathering that too but it takes a bit longer to get that information.  Here is the GAB information on running for your local School Board, PLEASE DO!
*RACINE UNIFIED School Board will have THREE(3) Seats open. Please consider running.

* Here is a list of statewide elections for Spring 2013 in case you are interested
