Dear Republican Friends,

                This past weekend, June 12-14, the N.C. Republican Party held its annual State Convention.  Delegates from all across North Carolina gathered in Raleigh not only to vote on the party platform but also to elect new party leadership.  Former Raleigh Mayor Tom Fetzer was elected Chairman and Dr. Timothy Johnson was elected Vice Chairman.
                Johnston County was well represented at the convention with 40 energized delegates in attendance, many of them attending for their very first time.  With party unity intact and stronger than ever, the Republican Party is fired up and ready to take on the task at hand, defeating the liberal left.
                I look forward to working with Chairman Fetzer and Vice Chairman Johnson in the coming months to reclaim our sovereignty and freedoms that are being destroyed by the liberal controlled State and Federal Government.  I thank all of you who attended the 2009 State Convention.  Thank you for your support of the Johnston County Republican Party, past, present, and future.

Sincerely,

 Andrew W. Tyree, Chairman
Johnston County Republican Party
