Your Houston County BPOU Executive Committee would like to update our logo and we want your help!

Win $100 Cash Prize

Are you a creative person and love designing logos? Or know someone that is? We want you! 

To enter, simply send us your design via email. Feel free to snap a picture of it and send it to us if needed. If you’d prefer to mail it, you can mail it to the address on the bottom of this email. 

Here are the general guidelines:

• It should be circular (like a button design) but feel free to “go outside the lines” here if you’d like 😁
• It should represent Houston County as well as include the “GOP” traditional branding (elephant being the most common)
• It doesn’t have to be perfect: We can always enhance it as needed when we digitize it for use.
• Feel free to use the current design (on this email) as inspiration or check out some past used logs (Internet search)

Got creative grandkids, nieces or nephews? This would be a great contest for them to give a try! All entries welcome!

We would request submissions by April 30th. 

We will use the winning design on our website, emails, banners and other locations. The winner will get $100 prize money. 

With the turning of the calendar to 2023, comes the ability to once again donate to the Houston County Republican Party and get your donation refunded by the State of Minnesota.

With this program, individuals and couples can donate AND GET YOUR DONATION REFUNDED by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. 

As this is an off-year for elections, donating to your local Houston County Republican Party is a great option. 

How does this work?

Simple. If you are an individual, donate up to $50. If you are a couple, donate up to $100. After donating, you will get a PCR receipt from us. Complete the form from the MN Department of Revenue, attach the PCR receipt we gave you and mail it in. In 7-10 days, you will have up to $50 or $100 returned back into your checking account.

How can I donate? 

Mail, in-person or online. 

• Mail: Send your check to Houston County Republican Party; 137 Main Street, Caledonia, MN 55921. Attention: David Pieper. 
• In-person: Simply stop by 137 Main Street during normal business hours or attend a BPOU meeting. If you are attending the February 18th Convention Call, this is a great time to donate and get your receipt immediately.
• On-line: We now offer online donations directly from our website. Simply click the DONATE NOW button. 

How do I get the refund?

2. Obtain the PCR receipt from us
