“The days of Davidson County being a one-party town are over.  The Davidson County Republican Party is energized and motivated,” says DCRP Chairman Kathleen Starnes.  “We are recruiting good candidates to run for office and are organizing the Party down to the precinct level.  We are determined to win elections.”

And that’s the message and mission of the DCRP.  Specifically, in 2010, the DCRP is working to increase the number of Republican Senators and Representatives in the 106^th General Assembly of the State of Tennessee with a view toward the decennial redrawing of district lines which should strengthen the Republican member’s majorities in both bodies.  In addition, the DCRP seeks to play a significant part in helping to elect a Republican governor.  After the gubernatorial election, the DCRP’s focus will turn to the 2011 councilmatic elections.

With these goals in mind, the DCRP has developed a grassroots strategy to bring together Republicans and conservatives all throughout Davidson County. Grassroots summits are occurring in Bellevue, Goodlettsville, Antioch, Hermitage, Madison, Donelson, Green Hills, Old Hickory and Belle Meade.  Also, the DCRP is reaching out to connect with various ethnic groups, conservative leaders and area coalitions in order to share ideas, strategize and unify at special meetings.

And because it takes money to fund candidates, host grassroots gatherings and get the word out, the DCRP is also focused on raising funds through donations and special events including its annual summer barbecue and April 16, 2010 Reagan Day Dinner.

Please join us and help us elect officials who demonstrate the core values and beliefs of the DCRP and will uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.
