A Personal Invitation from
Chairwoman Trisha Turner
The Ontario County Republican Committee is launching our 2025 Chairman’s Club and welcome you to join this year! We need YOUR help this year to get our team over the line. The past election was exciting for our party. We won back the White House, the Senate, and retained the House! There is a genuine wave of enthusiasm and heartfelt hope for our nation. We are excited to build upon the red wave in New York and locally in Ontario County!
New York State is at a crossroads, and we need to wage strong campaigns to ensure the best representation in our local towns, Albany, and Washington D.C. Next year we have the opportunity to take the Governor’s seat. Kathy Hochul is vulnerable, and we need to work together to do our part to help in the statewide battle. We will continue to fight for our local candidates in Ontario County and do our part to support strong and qualified republican candidates.
I am happy to speak with you directly if you have any questions about how to get involved or how to support our committee. We continue our efforts to bring a leadership team that fights for your values, your community, and your nation. Please consider supporting the Ontario County Republican Committee as a Chairman’s Club Member or joining the OCRC so we can successfully maintain strong leadership and do our part to restore the greatness of New York. Together, we will make a significant difference in our community!
With Gratitude,
Trisha Turner
