Lois Gremminger
President 2026
March

As we are going from the primary election into either run offs or a general election frenzy, it saddens my heart by the number of people who did NOT vote in the primary election. We have such a great opportunity that most people do not get to enjoy.
As I have traveled around the world, I have learned that countries often do not allow even their own citizens to vote unless they have a specific higher education degree, or even if they have chosen to become citizens in their new country, they do not have the opportunity to vote. So why are so many  citizens not voting?  What are we doing as  individuals, clubs, and a party to make people feel good about voting? What are we doing to be sure they understand a ballot, whether in person
or by mail? What are we doing to help our country become better citizens? I can not answer for all  readers of this article. However recently, many of my acquaintances asked many questions about the candidates, and the election in general. I decided to
hold an impromptu meeting at my house to help my neighbors and friends understand how to find their s ample ballot by address since the map was redrawn which caused confusion on precincts again. They also wanted to know how to read a ballot in order to vote such as whether they should vote for the ones that have no competition. It was a
simple informal meeting, but the small group of ten were grateful for no one had ever explained the entire process of how to research a candidate, what it means to vote all the way down a ballot for every race, how to become an active citizen with elections, and even how someone who was  democrat could be on a republican ballot. All
important parts to the election process.
If our county wants to stay Republican, WE MUST ALL do our part to get people to the polls to vote. I do not expect every member to hold informal meetings, or meet and greets, but we can all put out signs for the candidate we feel would best serve our
community, block walk or help in some manner. Won’t you please consider helping people get to the polls?
