Chairman's Note From the Chair of the Ellis County Republican Party Executive Committee
Ellis County Republicans,
I hope your holidays were all you wanted and you were able to spend time with your family. Our monthly meeting is Tuesday Feb 4th at 6:30. We will have a lot of things to take care of and this will be the last monthly meeting before the primary. We have to confirm where each precinct meeting will be held on Saturday morning March 7th at 10 am. This will then be posted on our website and we will have some discussions about our county convention. There are a lot of events going on this month including multiple candidate forums to include our Ellis County Republican Forum on Feb 17th, early voting starting on the 18th time and more. Check out our website (EllisCountyGOP.org) for updates. We are in need of some Election Day workers please call the office and leave a number and we will call you back. Hope to see you soon.
Thanks,
Randy Bellomy
Chairman
Ellis County GOP

Many updates have been completed to the EllisCountyGOP webiste. These include the addition of a "Hot Links" button to the left of each page which takes you to a page of various links of interest. These include sites such as Ellis County Women, TX Republican Party, RNC and the White House. In addition there are links to multiple news sites that will offer you alternatives to the far left liberal media outlets. These sites include OAN, The Bongino Report, Fox News, The BL and Epoch Times. One other major update to the website is the creation of a "News" page. After meeting with several staffers from the TX Republican Party office in Austin, I was able to establish a "live feed" from the TX GOP that will automatically post links to the 4 most recent news releases from the state GOP on this page.
