Republican Liberty Caucus of Northeast Florida: Bringing Liberty Back in the Republican Party of Duval County, Clay County, St. Johns County, Nassau County, Baker County, Putnam County, Flagler County

The Republican Liberty Caucus of Northeast Florida held an extremely important and foundational meeting on July 6, hosting 101 attendees and over twenty first-time guests. Before and after the meeting, those in attendance were treated to social hours where they could mingle while enjoying a spread of good food, drinks, and plenty of candidates in attendance to talk to members.

The meeting’s primary focus was on explaining the Republican Executive Committee and the RLC’s role within it. The presentation consisted of four parts:

1. Purpose & Goals of the RLC
2. Party Structure of the GOP
3. Party Operation & Process
4. Your Part in Reaching Our Goals

We were pleased to welcome Robin Lumb, County Manager for the Duval County Republican Executive Committee, to speak on the structure of the party, as an official representative of the local REC.

We were also excited to have in attendance Duval County REC Chairman Lenny Curry and officers from the St. Johns County REC as well.

The Action Item of the Month for July was to ask the members to attend their local REC meetings, get involved, build relationships and help achieve the goals of the RLC within the the REC and to promote the principles and ideals of the Republican Liberty Caucus.

“Thank you everyone at the RLC meeting tonight. It was a great meeting!” – Luis Melendez

“I now have an understanding as to what the RLC is about and how it interacts with the Republican party. I also did not know about the REC’s and what they were all about…. So that was pretty cool too.  All in all, I have a lot to learn about our political process.” – Jennifer Vogel

“Good job on the presentation last night – very informative. This was the kind of meeting that broke everything down for me – making it easier to understand, especially when so many other political discussions go over my head. I’m glad you guys touched on the role of the REC, who holds the decision making power at State and County levels, how ballot candidates are selected, etc.  And now I know more about what the RLC hopes to accomplish…” – K. Gunn

“It was another fabulous meeting.  I now have a better understanding of the complex structure of the Republican Party of Florida and how the individuals REC function and the goals and strategies of RLC as works within it.” – Gary Morrison

“I found the RLCNEF meeting to be very educational. Before the meeting I did not know what the purpose of the RLC was or how it was related to the Republican party . I also did not know how I could get involved in local politics, and after the meeting I have a very clear understanding of how I can best do that. I also have a strong desire to see the RLC become active in my own area so that I can participate. ” – Christi Soderberg
