Garland County GOP

The first meeting of the year for the Garland County Republican Party was held on Thursday Jan 7th at 6:15pm in the Gospel Light School Auditorium on South St between Third and Fourth Streets in Hot Springs.

This is an exciting time to be a Republican!  With widespread discontent over the direction of American politics there has never been such an opportunity to turn America back to its conservative roots! Everyone is encouraged to come and bring a friend as we set out to take back America in 2010!   We have more Republican candidates committed to run for office in 2010 than ever  and are looking to complete a full slate of good qualified conservative candidates for  every elective office on the ballot.   If you know of a good conservative who would like to run for office this year have them contact Glenn and get on board in this exciting election year!

Gilbert Baker (R) Candidate for US Senate

Guest speaker was Senator Gilbert Baker who was first elected to the Arkansas State Senate in 2000 and currently serves AR Senate District 30 which includes Conway, Greenbrier, Vilonia, Mayflower and Faulkner County.

He has served as an instructor, academic advisor, and administrator at the University of Central Arkansas (UCA), retiring after over 20 years of service in higher education.  Senator Baker is currently running for the US Senate seat  and was the winner of the Republican Straw Poll held on Dec 10th in a field of seven candidates.  He is excited about  reclaiming the Arkansas US Senate seat for the Republican party.

If you were unable to attend you missed a great inspirational evening.  Dan Lewin won the door prize, a beautiful pie donated by Perkin’s Restaurant.  Make your plans to attend Next Month’s meeting on Thursday evening Feb 4th.  Hope to see you there.
