Wyoming Republican Party Celebrates Tax Reform, Election 2018 Chances

Greetings Arthur --

I've just returned from the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Washington, DC.  Here are some highlights of the terrific gathering:  

National Committeeman Richard George of Powell and National Committeewoman Marti Halverson of Etna and I were treated to a luncheon featuring Vice President Pence.  The Vice President delivered an exciting and passionate speech, providing a long list of accomplishments by this administration in its first year.  He reminded us to pray for our divided country.

We were fortunate to attend a dinner at the Trump Internation Hotel near the White House. President Trump delivered a very candid and heartfelt talk to the crowd of 300 plus. The President then entertained a time of Q&A. It was a grand evening with so many commenting on how natural and comfortable President Donald J. Trump appeared during his address.

Other highlights during the packed 3 days were RNC fundraising training, chairman reports from every state and some of territories, and subcommittee meetings where rules and resolutions were debated and passed. We learned the Western region is growing more red - and I reminded everyone that Wyoming leads the way in solid support for our President and our conservative agenda. Washington State appears to be the biggest surprise and hope with the largest gains in Republican elected officials

This past year marks some exciting milestones - all with due cause for celebration:
>> 2.4 million jobs added to the US economy
>> A tax cut bill we haven’t seen the likes of in a generation
>> 22 regulations eliminated for every new one written
>> Military spending prioritized for the first time in 10 years
>> ObamaCare mandate eliminated!
>> RNC raised $134 million, most ever in an off-election year, and has no debt
>> DNC is $5 million in debt and only has $400,00 cash on hand

That is a fine list to celebrate, but history gives us a grim reminder: The off-cycle elections after a Republican President is elected is typically a swing to the opposition party. Even though the RNC is in the best position it can be going in to these mid-term elections, NO ONE is taking anything for granted. Wyoming is no exception. We understand that democrats nationally and in our state have awakened. They are angry and motivated to win.

We must by determined to not only hold our ground in Wyoming, but avoid complacency and fiercely take on each race in earnest. This will require action from every Republican in this great state. The WYGOP needs to hear from you. We need financial resources and volunteers. We need your help in getting out the vote. There are numerous excellent tools at our disposal and we need help from fellow Republicans to implement them to victory. Join with us to plant the theme “When Republican values win, Wyoming wins!” Consider contributing now to support our efforts:  Click Here to Contribute

You can start by planning to attend the Lincoln Day Dinner on February 23rd in Cheyenne. It will be an enjoyable time of dining with and appreciating our Republican legislators.  Details are at LaramieCountyGOP.com.

There is much to celebrate in our nation and across Wyoming. Join forces with the WYGOP to keep the good times rolling.

See you in Cheyenne later this month,

Frank

Chairman W. Frank Eathorne
