Wheeler is unequipped to keep people safe in the Treasurer’s Report………………5 city he is responsible for. He has become a national disgrace! Membership Report ……….…..5 Allowing violent protests to continue for more than 90 days has not only driven 40% of businesses away, it’s CCRW Membership Form……..6 caused tens of millions of dollars in Member Business Directory …..7 downtown Portland property damage and has now devolved into the assassination of CCRW Endorsements………..…7 an innocent citizen who was only guilty of LWV Candidate Forums…..……8 expressing his support for conservative Current CCRW Members … …10 values.

Clark County Republican Women are gearing up to put on the biggest party of the year on Wednesday, September 16th at 6pm! We are extremely honored to present the Hootenanny for Freedom featuring guest speaker Republican Gubernatorial candidate Loren Culp. Loren won the August primary by a large margin among GOP challengers and is now squaring off with Inslee in the November election. Let’s do all we can to elect Culp! Grab your favorite cowboy hat and boots and join us at this fun annual event that’s been happening here at my Shangri-La Farm for the past nine years. The event features a delicious cowboy dinner and homemade pie! Don’t forget to bring your $5 bills to play Chicken Bingo! You could win half the pot! The other half will be donated to Options 360, a local non-profit agency that is saving lives of local babies by offering a safe alternative to Planned Parenthood. Options 360 was selected by our membership to be the recipient of this year’s CCRW Impact Award. If you would like to attend the Hootenanny for Freedom on Wednesday, September 16th at my Shangri-La Farm, please don’t delay! There are only a few tickets left. Advanced online registration is required. To purchase tickets, visit ClarkCountyRepublicanWomen.org. Thank you to all the members who attended our recent CCRW Membership Appreciation Dinner last month. A great time was had by all. Thanks to all our great volunteers listed on page 7 who helped out! I want to give a special shout out to my CCRW Vice Presidents! They both rock! First Vice President Karen Bowerman crushed her two opponents in the August Primary in her bid to be the next Clark County Council Member from District 3. In many regards, I view Karen’s race as the most significant along with Culp and Trump on our November ballot. When Karen wins, she will create a conservative majority on the County Council. Think of all the great improvements Karen will make working with Councilor Gary Medvigy and Chair Eileen Quiring. Additionally, Second Vice President Liz Cline has been working very hard to successfully recruit about a dozen new members to our organization. Thank you Liz! You are on fire! I love the energy and enthusiasm that Liz Cline brings to Clark County Republican Women. With Liz Cline’s efforts, we have experienced a huge surge in new memberships. Let’s keep it rolling. Republican candidates need our support all the way to the finish line on November 3rd. A larger membership base helps us achieve our stated mission of electing more Republicans! Thank you to new CCRW member Helen Sudbeck! Helen stepped out of her comfort zone to organize a hugely successful Blue Rally to honor our local law enforcement last Friday night in downtown Camas. The turnout was monumental. What struck me was the number of young people displaying Trump flags, American flags and pro-police signs. It warmed my heart to see hundreds of people coming together to thank our men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line every day to keep us all safe. Great job Helen! Lastly, thank you for putting your trust in the CCRW leadership team. I’m so excited to report that ours is now the largest Republican Women’s organization in Washington State. I don’t know where we would be without Anna Miller, our hardworking Secretary/Membership Chair and Nicole Wubben, our skilled and professional treasurer! Your board continues to work extremely hard to represent you well. Thanks again for allowing us to serve you! I hope to see you at the farm on September 16th. Be sure to see the flyer on page 4 for important parking and shuttle details. Yours in service, Liz Pike, President of CCRW 3 September, TRUMP 2020 Bowerman Report By Karen Bowerman, CCRW First Vice President First, a Report on your County Republican Party At the quarterly Clark County Republican Central Committee meeting last weekend, every single state-wide candidate who made it through the Primary from Culp all the way down the ballot, appeared before our PCOs and requested endorsement! It was a wonderful opportunity to hear them all in an informal, supportive setting and it reinforced how proud we are to be Republicans! Vote, and vote R! Most of you heard Loren Culp at our 2019 Lincoln Day Gala, and I must say that every time I hear him he is more polished than before – but still totally genuine. What a contrast with Governor Inslee.
