Message from the President

Dear NHRW,

Our Commitment to Prop 39 for Voter ID Remains Strong!

I want to thank everyone who has helped make our Reform California Voter ID Ballot Initiative effort a priority for NHRW.  The initiative is now Yes on Prop 39 for Voter ID, and our work is more important than ever.  Ballots drop October 5, and we are entering the final phase of this important effort.

Many of you have already helped hand-address thousands of envelopes that will be filled with voter guides and mailed to voters across California.  The personal touch is intentional.  Hand-addressed envelopes look like personal mail rather than junk mail, making voters more likely to open them. The voter guides explain the 14 statewide ballot initiatives and provide information on candidates and local races.

These voter guides are an all-in-one effort to support our local candidates while also helping voters understand the statewide ballot measures.  Our work is aligned with both OCGOP and Reform California, because the goal is the same:  get informed voters to the polls and encourage them to complete their entire ballot.  This effort helps lift the entire Republican ticket and support the measures we are working to pass.

The final step is voter outreach, including door-to-door canvassing to low propensity voters.  Door knocking is the proven gold standard for increasing voter turnout, and this will be a critical part of our final push. If you can knock doors, we need you! If you can’t, donating to candidates or OCGOP is another valuable way to support the effort.  Watch your emails for announcements and updates about upcoming volunteer opportunities.  Thank you for staying committed. Let’s finish strong!

NHRW Club Business: Nominations & Elections

Nominations for the Nominating Committee will take place at our September general meeting.  The committee will focus on preparing a slate of one candidate for each of the seven elected offices for the 2027-2028 executive board.  The current board’s term concludes in January 2027.

We will be looking for three active members and one alternate to serve on the Nominating Committee.  To participate in nominating or being nominated, you must have been an active member in good standing for at least 60 days.  The Nominating Committee will present the slate of candidates at the October general meeting, with elections held in November.
