To build our influence as Republicans we need to work to get good people elected to local office. This is key to getting them name recognition and experience so we can send them to the state house.

To make this happen we need to build strong city, town, ward, county committees and clubs. We need to attract people who want to work for local candidates and help to get them into office.

David Heidke proposes that we build strong local teams who are passionate about getting good Republican candidates elected. He also proposes drawing on county and college Republican clubs to assist locals in their efforts.

People have been feeling more and more disenfranchised by the government establishment. They see more and more of their salary taken in taxes and they vote time and time again to return the tax levels to previous levels, and their elected officials dismiss these votes. We need to get people in office who will embrace the voters will and fight for it instead of against it.

David proposes canvassing the area to find candidates to run for selectman, town planner, city council, and other local offices where we as Republicans can show that we can run things very well at the local level. When people understand how they are being helped by Republicans at the local level, they will again learn that Republicans are a viable alternative to the status quo.
