Happy May and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! 

We are happy to announce a refreshed logo (see above). It has incorporated several items including: 

• The elephant. Ever wonder the history of the elephant and donkey mascots for the parties? This 3 minute video will give you the quick version. 
• US Flag with a blue line, commonly representing "Back the Blue" or "Thin Blue Line" of law enforcement. 
• Star of the North, as representing the nickname of State of Minnesota. 

We will be updating our social media, web site and other branding with our new logo going forward. 

We would like to thank those that were able to attend the I Am Human event held on Saturday, April 29th at Witoka Tavern. A huge thank you to Tim Miller from Plam Action for speaking, Witoka Tavern for hosting and the MN Patriots for helping coordinate this event (see picture below). 

We are also working on future events, including events with our neighboring Fillmore County Republicans. Looks for several events later in July including one with American Majority. 

As a reminder, Minnesota politics operate on EVEN YEARS for election of delegates from Houston County to CD 1 and State. With the completion of the 2023's convention on April 1, our Delegates and Alternates wrap up their 2-year terms (as elected originally in February 2021 at our caucus). 

This means we will elect our new Houston County Delegates and Alternates on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2024 during the statewide caucuses.  SAVE THE DATE!

If you or someone you know wants to DIRECTLY REPRESENT HOUSTON COUNTY and be able to VOTE TO SELECT THE ENDORSED CANDIDATES,  including State and Federal (including the 2024 Presidential race), this process is how you can be elected as a delegate or alternate for Houston County for the next 2 years. 

2024 elections will include:

• US Presidential race (held currently by "Brandon", elections are every 4 years)
• US Senate race (held currently by Amy Klobachar, elections are every 6 years)
• MN House seat (held currently by our Rep. Greg Davids, elections are every 2 years)
