Clark County Republican Party Statement on Semi Bird
CCRP provides statement to Clark County Today Monday

The Clark County Republican Party’s (CCRP) endorsed candidate for governor of Washington state, Semi Bird, has come under scrutiny recently due to a number of documents that have been unveiled during his tenure serving our country.
Clark County Today Editor Ken Vance pleads with Republicans to focus more on winning the war with Democrats than the battle with each other.
“An unfounded narrative of ‘stolen valor’ has been the foundation of the allegations brought against him and has caused an unnecessary amount of time, effort and focus to address while he is busy campaigning to help fix our broken state,’’ read a statement from the CCRP provided to Clark County Today Monday.

Hello Warriors!
Thank you everyone who participated in my less than scientific survey on issues that matter the most to you. I received 50 surveys which was roughly half of the Central Committee attendees.
The number one issue for the LD’s as well as the body was the Border. 29 votes for immigration, illegals, border. I took the liberty to group them. Second for the body was 22 votes for Economy, third was a tie, 13 votes each for schools and election integrity.
Memorial Day
Fellow patriots,
As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, it is important to pause and reflect on the true meaning of this solemn day. Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend; it is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began after the Civil War to commemorate the soldiers who died in that conflict. Today, it honors all American military personnel who have given their lives in service to our nation. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness have preserved the freedoms and values we hold dear.

Are Illegals voting in our Elections?
On May 8, Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans introduced a Bill to Protect Americans’ Right to Vote.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, legislation led by Congressman Chip Roy(R-Texas) in the House and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) in the Senate, would require proof of American citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
A quick internet search all showed similar headlines dominating the news outlets on the subject, but a case in Clark County suggests the headlines could be misleading.

Evaluating the performance of elected officials against our party's standards allows us to hold them accountable and encourages a culture of transparency and accountability in governance. As constituents, it is crucial for us to engage in discussions and feedback mechanisms that promote better alignment between our representatives and the values we hold dear.

An important note from the CCRP Platform Chair
An important note from the CCRP Platform Chair
First off, it has been an honor to serve as CCRP Platform Chair. The volunteers on the committee were a delight to work with. My only regret was that we were limited on time.
In the debate on the floor regarding “shall” and “should” the body decided that we should use “shall” where it was intended to require some action. After the Convention, I was working with Ann Makar to implement those changes. I thought it would be good to look up the definitions for “shall”, “should”, and “must” to make sure I was using the most appropriate word for each situation. Much to my surprise, I discovered this:
