CRESTVIEW — The North Okaloosa Republican Club's new officers — Jeremiah Hubbard, president, Crestview; John Marshall Sr., vice president, Baker; and Joe Loria, treasurer, Crestview — have plans for next year's elections.
"The club will now focus the attention on helping the county Republican Party's outreach program and get back to the basics of grassroots efforts," said Marshall, who, with the other men, was elected during a special meeting last month. "Okaloosa County is very important to 2016 elections, both in the state of Florida and presidential. There's lots of work to do, and we'll need a lot more people."
"It's an honor to be elected president of the North Okaloosa Republican Club," Hubbard said. "I look forward to serving North Okaloosa County and the Republican Party. I believe that we can make a difference."
The group meets at 6 p.m. the second Tuesday each month at Hideaway Pizza, 623 N. Main St., Crestview. "We welcome anyone that is interested in joining the Republican Party or to learn the truth about Republicans to stop in, no reservations needed," Loria said.
See the group's Facebook page, http://on.fb.me/1IU285H, for meeting times, events and other information.
