The newly-formed Essex County NJ Republican Women will host keynote speaker former Gov. Christopher J. Christie at its Lincoln Day Dinner on Thursday, March 28, 6-9 pm at the historic Montclair Golf Club in West Orange, New Jersey.

The Republican Women of Purpose of Memphis, Tennessee had as their guest speaker for their February 2019 meeting former Mayor of Shelby County Tennessee Mark Luttrell.  He spoke about the opioid crisis.  As everyone is aware, opioids are a crisis locally, as well as on the state and national levels.  The opioid epidemic is the deadliest drug crisis in American history.  Overdoses, fueled by opioids, are the leading cause of death for Americans under 50 years of age.  The first wave began with increased prescribing of opioids in the 1990s. On average, opioids kill 130 people per day in the United States – over five people every hour.  We must be vigilant and aware; many are unexpectedly impacted.

In July 2018, Leavenworth County Republican Women (KS) invited all Republican candidates in a contested primary race to a “speed campaigning” event.

This year’s Lincoln Day Dinner was especially exciting for Gaston County Republican Women of North Carolina. Club Secretary Sharon Jarvis-Moss was named the 2019 GOP Republican of the Year for her tireless efforts during the 2018 Campaign Season.

Though there are many great women in and from Kansas, Senator Braun highlights three women pioneers that left their marks in Kansas politics and history and are a legacy for us all. Senator Braun was the featured speaker at the Kansas Federation of Republican Women Kansas Day Banquet celebrating Kansas' entry into the Union.
