The Clark County Republican Party’s 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. 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.

On Saturday, February 3rd, the Clark County Republican Party conducted their rescheduled precinct caucuses. Originally, the caucuses were supposed to be held on January 13th but because of the inclement weather, 10 of the 11 locations notified the party that they were going to have to cancel. In a quick pivot, the CCRP reserved the Clark County Fairgrounds Event Center for everyone to come to instead of 11 locations spread throughout the county.
