Message from the President

Dear Members,

This election season, Newport Harbor Republican Women rolled up our sleeves.

Our biggest effort was supporting Prop 39 for voter ID. Members hand-addressed thousands of envelopes with petitions and voter guides, first to help get the measure on the ballot and then to put voter guides in voters' hands. Many of you also canvassed and knocked on doors. That kind of work doesn't make headlines, but it makes a difference.

We also tried some new ways to keep you informed and involved. For the first time, we shared candidate events with you: fundraisers, meet and greets, and volunteer opportunities. Our social media pointed you to voter guides, vote center information, OCGOP-endorsed candidates, and help with ballot tracking and replacement ballots. At our luncheons, candidates and local leaders gave campaign updates, and we handed out free yard signs.

Most of all, thank you. Many of you are the person friends and family turn to when they want to know how to vote, and that trust matters. Our goal is to give you the information you need so you can pass it along with confidence.

Please join us on November 12, when members will elect our 2027-2028 board.

This holiday season we're supporting the 1/1 Marines with donation bags at our November luncheon and a toy drive at our December 10 Christmas luncheon.

Now's a great time to renew for 2027 or bring a friend who'd enjoy being part of NHRW.

I'm proud of what we did together, and grateful to each of you.

Warmly,

Jenny Golden, President
