April 2024 President’s Message Southern California Area Republican Women
By Judy Verona Joseph
Dear Members and Friends,
I hope you had a very Happy Easter and enjoyed being with your family and friends.
Here are two interesting stats from the March 5 California primary election:
• Total voter turnout for the election was 37.7 percent.
• Of the 685,038 ballots cast by Orange County voters and counted, 84.5 percent cast a voteby-mail ballot and 15.5 percent cast an in-person ballot at one of 183 Vote Centers throughout the county.
President Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump won their primary contests by almost identical overwhelming majorities in Orange County. Republican Steve Garvey, the former Major League Baseball player who is running for US senator, came in first place in Orange County! Garvey now faces serial liar Democrat Adam Schiff in the November general election. Let’s pray that Garvey wins as it would signal that Patriots are taking back our state. In addition to praying, everyone must vote in November.
A big thank you to our March 20 keynote speaker Brad Dacus. Brad is always very informative and shared several stories of how Pacific Justice Institute fights the many injustices that plague our country. At the end of his talk, he announced that their next gala fundraiser will be on October 19 at the JW
Marriott in Anaheim. The keynote speaker with be Judge Jeanine. This event will sell out fast once the tickets go on sale. I will keep you posted.
I’m excited to announce that our May 15 luncheon will be a special and unique event that you will not want to miss. “Heroes Among Us” will honor our veterans. You will soon receive an email about sponsoring one of our honored veterans. Live music will be by the fabulous The Blue Delilahs! More information inside this issue of The Tide with more to follow.
On June 19, we are having our first evening event. Patriots and Tacos will be held at the Hills Hotel with Kira Davis as our keynote speaker.
As you can see, our organization has a lot planned and much to look forward to. We hope that you and your friends will join us at some or all of these events.
Before closing my president’s message, I am following up with our “help wanted” request. Please email me if you would like to volunteer and be part of our amazing organization.
Remember to stay engaged and informed.
All the best,
President Judy Joseph
