IT’S PACHYDERM TIME!

Dear Fellow Republican,

As you know 2022 was a big election year and with your financial support, we were able to continue our strong presence throughout the county in parades, fairs, festivals and community dinner/auction events.
2022 was a very successful year for Spencer County Republicans!

There were many offices up for election including Auditor, Assessor, Commissioner, 4 District Council seats, Coroner, Sheriff, Prosecutor, all Township Trustees and Township Boards, many of which we had to defend. We filed all ten of our county level candidates January 13th 2022, and with their hard work and your financial support they all won their races.

I am writing today to ask for your help with the 2023 municipal races that include Rockport, Santa Claus, Dale, Grandview, Richland and Gentryville. We rely on you to help us, because as we have said many times before, there is no one else. We need both financial and volunteer support. Your generosity ensures the Republican Party will continue to have an active and vital role in our community. We will participate in the usual local fairs, festivals, and parades. We will continue to host our annual Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner at Santa’s Lodge. This year’s dinner will be March 11th. Stay tuned for more information about the Southern Indiana Republican Golf Scramble! The annual Perry-Spencer Picnic will be at Mulzer’s Camp on August 17th. This takes a great deal of organization, volunteers, and money.

If you are currently a member of the Pachyderm Club, we sincerely thank you and ask you to renew your membership. If not, please give serious consideration to contributing through this donor club. As you will see on the form below there are several levels of giving. Also, please note the extra benefits you receive as a Pachyderm Club member!

Republican Strong!
