Lois Choate This election is the most crucial of my lifetime. We have to re-elect our President and more Republicans to assist him in taking back our country. I am a lifelong Republican working every election no matter what state I have lived in and believe in our Party. Currently I hold the Clark County EBoard position of Community Relations director which is an honor and a privilege and my goal is to unite our communities, build our party and elect Republicans. My dream for this state is to see all counties united and our state being a RED state and will work to the best of my abilities to help achieve this dream. It would be an honor to represent Nevada and cast Nevada our vote for President Trump.

Theresa DeGraffenreid As a longtime supporter of , I’ve seen how hard the President has worked to keep Americans first, keep America moving forward and bring jobs back to American workers. I’ve always been a fighter for the rights of the unborn and have championed them since I was in middle school standing on the corner with my mother against abortion. Donald J.

For this and many other reasons I want to rise and have my voice counted for President Trump. My Republican activism includes: Precinct Captain - Douglas Precinct 18 since 2008, Timekeeper - NVGOP meetings since 2009, Timekeeper – State and County GOP Conventions since 2009, Member - NVGOP Credentials Committee since 2010, Assistant to Delegation Aide - 2012 National Convention, Tampa, FL, Member - State Central Committee 2012 - 2018, Co-Chair for Sponsorships and Silent Auction - Nevada GOP Convention 2014, Unpaid Lobbyist - Nevada Legislature 2015, 2017 and 2019, Co-Chair - NVGOP Boots and Rhinestone Gala 2016, Alternate Delegate - 2016 National Convention, Cleveland, OH, Chairperson - Douglas Lincoln Day Dinner 2018, 2019 and 2020, Red Dialer trained volunteer Trump 2020. I’ve always been a worker bee helping wherever I can to keep things moving forward for the Nevada GOP and keeping America’s eyes on the prize to get Donald J. Trump re-elected.

Scott LaFata As a well known vocal conservative that represents the NFAA, and, as original proud Trump supporter, and former primary candidate for Lt. Governor, I would be honored to represent Nevadan Republicans at the 2020 National Convention as a delegate at large.

Edmund Levy It is no secret that there is much at stake in the upcoming election: our earnings, our future prosperity, indeed, our very freedoms are all at risk. To protect these precious rights, our new campaign priorities must include countering the false narratives that the left constantly broadcasts, and informing Americans of the true nature of our Republican policies. For too long, the radical left has had free rein to make claims about the value of their offerings, without acknowledging the costs associated with them. They have also been free to mischaracterize Republican efforts to protect us from ever-growing encroachment by big government into our lives. We have unnecessarily lost much ground, as well as many key offices, because of our inattention to the mischaracterizations of the Republican platforms and actions promoted by the Democratic party. From now on, we must focus far greater attention on countering the falsehoods, and promoting the true value of our work in protecting our fellow Americans from the constant and increasing erosion of the Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees us. We must also continue to inform the electorate that there truly is no free lunch, and that the cost of government favors almost always exceeds their value. I intend to devote myself fully to these efforts.

Reinier "Antonio" Prijten It was 40 years ago today that I wrote a letter to President Ronald Reagan from a remote village in my home country Holland (The Netherlands). As an 11-year-old boy I expressed my concerns about the rise of Communism in Europe and asked President Reagan for help. It marked the beginning of my American journey that brings me here today. Coming to America as an immigrant was not easy. I had to wait in line for nearly 20 years to get my beloved American Citizenship and along the way I struggled. My first day in America I was homeless. A family of 5 was sitting out on the street this midsummer night to escape the heat from their one-bedroom apartment and noticed me walking around with my suitcase. “You looked very scared” the mother said the next morning as she prepared me breakfast and offered me to stay longer. Today I am just an ordinary American citizen who lives pay check to pay check but I have a story to tell. I have lived life and made mistakes but what sets me apart is my intense and deep love for this country and the American people that brought me here by choice and legally at a very young age. Dear friends of the Nevada State Republican Party, I am seeking to become a National Delegate. That is the least I can do to thank America. I am asking for your vote. Antonio

Elizabeth Tom I have participated in community service organizations since high school in San Francisco. I was elected President for the University of California, Davis (UCD) chapter of Alpha Phi Omega (APO), National Collegiate Coeducational Service Fraternity. In 1998, I was elected to APO National Board of Directors and continued for 16 years, including 2 years as the Leadership Development Director. I have taught leadership seminars at college campuses across the United States, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. I moved to Elko in 1991 after completing a surgical residency at San Joaquin General Hospital in Stockton, California. I had previously received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and Biophysics and Doctor of Medicine degree from UCD. Locally, I have served on the boards of the Great Basin College Nursing School, the Elko Branch of the American Association of University Women, the Great Basin Surgical Center and Ruby Mountain Hot Air Balloon Club. I was a founding member of the Elko Committee of the Friends of the NRA, continuing as co-chair for 10 years. I was elected President of the Elko Area Chamber of Commerce, and Chair of Cowboy Country Territory (a volunteer marketing committee through the Nevada Commission on Tourism). I currently serve as President of the Board of Directors for the Northeastern Nevada Museum. My hobbies include hot air ballooning, hunting, scuba diving and photography.

Bonnie Weber Hi, I’m Bonnie Weber and I would be honored to represent Nevada as a Delegate to the Republican National Convention. I have been a proud supporter of President Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy in 2015. I’ve been actively involved at all levels of the Republican Party since 1987. I have volunteered countless hours walking precincts, making phone calls, and licking envelopes to support Republican candidates at all levels. I have served as a delegate to Washoe County and Nevada Republican Conventions for more than 30 years, working behind the scenes to help organize the meetings. In 2002, my service supporting Republican principles evolved to serving in elective office as a Washoe County Commissioner. I was privileged to serve for 12 years. In 2018, I was elected to the Reno City Council. This newest experience has presented a daunting challenge as I am only one of two Republicans on the Council. I have gained a new perspective in how to work toward our common Republican goals when facing a Democrat majority. In this we have made significant progress by attracting bees with honey instead of vinegar. It is with experience that I would like to represent Nevada at the Republican National Convention. Most folks don’t understand that national conventions demand work. If elected, I would be happy to help the State Party make sure that the Nevada Delegation has a great experience as we work to re-elect our President! I ask for your Vote.

I am a member of the Republican National Lawyers Association wherein I regularly attend conferences on policy and election law. After 15 years of practicing law in Nevada, I recently opened my own firm wherein I engage in the practice of election law, estate planning and corporate transactions.
