CCRP Campaign ~ Election Office to Open!

The Comanche County Republican Party has set 11:00am Tuesday September 7 as the date for opening a campaign/election office for the 2010 election cycle. Located at 1322 N. Sheridan Road in Lawton (former AT&T bldg), the office will have campaign literature and signs for all Republican candidates - local and state-wide races.
A Grand Opening/Open House is set for 10:00am ~ 2:00pm on Saturday September 25. ALL candidates will be invited as special guests for this event.

There will also be information on the State Questions that voters will have on their November 2 ballot. In addition, voter registration forms will also be available to register to vote or to make changes to your current registration.

ALL county Republicans are encouraged to be engaged and involved during the short election cycle and do all you can to help in getting our Republicans elected to office.

Workers are also needed to man the office 11:00am ~ 1:00pm and 4:00pm ~ 7:00pm, Monday - Friday; 10:00am ~ 2:00pm Saturdays, beginning Sept. 7. We need at least 2 persons per shift. Call CCRP Chairman Ed Petersen if you are able to help at the office. (580) 355-7100.

Don't Skip the RUN-OFF ~ August 24.

Run-off decision still to be made for a few candidates that will then run in the General Election November 2. Voters state-wide will have one run-off race to decide August 24.
John Doak vs John Crawford for State Insurance Commissioner. In Comanche County, voters will also decide on the Western District County Commissioner – Don Hawthorne vs Joe English.
Voters in other counties need to check their area for local races that may have run-off votes coming up.

Turn-out for the Primary was not nearly as good as it could/should have been and run-offs are notoriously much worse. The CCRP asks you voters to be supportive of the candidates. They have worked hard, made the effort to run. Expended time, money, energy! They deserve a few minutes of the voters time and you should want a say in selection of candidates to represent us!

Early in-person voting begins Friday August 20; Saturday August 21; Monday August 23 - those 3 days at your local courthouse. Tuesday August 24, at your regular polling place.
C U at the POLLS!
