For those of you who typically attend our Saturday Breakfast meetings, WE WILL NOT BE HAVING A MEETING ON NOVEMBER 18TH this month. Instead, we will be having our FIRST ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY ON DECEMBER 7TH at Edwin Coe Craft Distillery just north of Churubusco. The Central Committee is planning lots of fun and games to make sure that everyone is rested, ready and filled with good cheer as we kick off the 2024 election year.

Keep an eye out. More information will follow on the Christmas Party, but make a note on your calendar NOW, so you don’t miss all of the F-U-N.

If you live in Columbia City or Larwill, you need to get out and support our Republican candidates by voting on November 7th! (Where did October go?) If you don’t want to stand in line on Election Day or if you have other things to do on November 7th, you can stop into the Whitley County Election Board office on the second floor of the Courthouse anytime between now and November 7th and cast your vote. Why not go ahead and cast that ballot now, so you don’t have to worry about it? The races are going to be close, so vote early!

As is usually the case, we will be gathering at The Square in Columbia City in the evening of November 7th to watch the returns come in and congratulate our victorious candidates. See you there!

We invite you to break bread with us at The Square on October 21st 8:15 a.m as we welcome our breakfast sponsor and gubernatorial candidate for governor Curtis Hill. We will have a buffet style breakfast for a small donation of $10, or more if you like.

We are excited to announce that AFP (Americans For Prosperity) will be joining us for our monthly breakfast on Saturday August 19th. We are looking forward to hearing from one of the leading grass roots movements in America. Make sure to join us Saturday, because this is one GOP breakfast you definitely don't want to miss.

Join us for breakfast and discussion about the Ambassador Institute for Civic Engagement and how we come alongside emerging candidates. We will begin our meeting at 8:15 at

Nicki Venable is the Director of Civic Engagement at Ambassador Enterprises in Fort Wayne, Indiana. At heart, she is a true public servant. Over the past two decades, she has served the Allen County and City of Fort Wayne Community. Serving with the Fort Wayne Police Department, Allen County Community Corrections, and City of Fort Wayne Human Resources, her heart has also been affecting change by coming alongside those in need. Always serving in the background, she made it her mission to silently promote conservative candidates that shared her conservative values. Never wanting to be on the front line, it was in 2020 that she could no longer take a backseat approach to good government. In 2021, she was a candidate for the Whitley County Commissioner, District 2, elected as a State Delegate 2022, served as vice-chair of the Whitley County Women’s GOP 2022-23, appointed to the Whitley County Regional Sewer District and Columbia City Plan Commission. Nicki is an alumnus of the Ambassador Institute for Civic Engagement and supports women stepping into the political arena.

Don't forget 8:15 this Saturday March 18th at Old World Cafe for a

$12 Breakfast buffet, located 202 N Chauncey St, Columbia City, IN 46725

We will hear from Whitley County Assessor Kim Erdly along with other local elected officials. We look forward to seeing everyone there on Saturday.

You don’t want to miss the February 18 Whitley County GOP breakfast at The Square. Fort Wayne’s WOWO radio morning host Kayla Blakeslee is coming to share her experience when she went to the border to see first hand the truth of the situation. We will have a breakfast buffet for $10.00. Don't forget that it is Feb.18th @ 8:15 and it is going to be Epic!

It’s game time! If you have not voted early you will cast your ballot on November 8th.

Just a quick reminder that we will have our monthly Republican breakfast at The Square in Columbia City this Saturday, October 15th, starting at 8:15. The breakfast will be an all-you-can-eat buffet and the cost is $10. We will be discussing the upcoming election, including Election Day plans, our evening get-together to watch the returns come in, and our plans for the coming year. Anyone with yard signs are asked to bring them, so folks can take them home to put out. I would encourage everyone to ask friends and family to join you for the meeting, especially if they have an interest in getting involved. I would also encourage any precinct committeemen, vice precinct committeemen, and poll workers to attend the meeting.

Remember, early voting on the second floor of the Courthouse starts October 12th. Everyone on this e-mail should be encouraging their Republican family and friends to vote early. The lines are shorter and typically faster. It also avoids having to remember to vote when election day actually get here.

Vote early and lock in your support!

South Whitley Parade is at 2pm. Line up in the high school parking lot @ 145PM.

Hog Roast Rally To Get Out The Vote!

You don't want to miss breakfast this Saturday Sept.17th at the Square at 8:15a.m., it's time for all hands on deck as we prepare for the November election. We will be having a breakfast buffet for a $10 minimum and discussing future events such as the hog roast later this month and the South Whitley Fall Festival Parade beginning next month. Plan to attend and bring some friends.

Thank You,

Your Whitley County Central Committee

After a great summer of events such as the 4-H Fair, Old Settler Days, parades, and Indiana GOP Convention it is time to get fired up for elections. We have also witnessed why elections matter and why President Trump's 3 United States Supreme Court Justice appointees were crucial in ending Roe v. Wade being a Constitutional Right. W.Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency limiting the E.P.A. Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, ruling the coach has the right to prayer. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the Court ruled that States with strict limits on carrying guns in public violate The 2nd Amendment. This has been a huge win at the State level with Constitutional carry going into effect July 1st for Indiana.

November Elections

The midterm elections are rapidly approaching and we need to support our candidates with winning in November. Moving forward we will also need all of our candidates to be there and discuss the needs of their campaign and how we can best support them.
