MUNICIPAL ELECTION - NOVEMBER 4th

REPUBLICAN  CANDIDATES

​​​​​CANDIDATES: If you are a registered republican running for office and would like to offer a brief bio, please email us at countygopfranklin@gmail.com with your contact information and bio.  The purpose will be to inform voters.  Let voters know which office you are seeking, why you are running, your background and why you are a good candidate. Be as brief as possible.  We reserve the right to limit information as we deem necessary.  Sharing here does not indicate endorsement by the Franklin County Republican Committee.  We seek to help voters know who the candidates are, share information and confirm Republican registration.

Information in this section was compiled by volunteers.  Errors are possible.  Sample Ballots, issued by the County Election Office, should be referenced for the official list of candidates.

ENDORSEMENT STATEMENT

The Franklin County Republican Committee does not endorse any Republican candidates that have earned a position on the Primary Ballot.  Any campaign materials provided by a Republican candidate for distribution through our headquarters will be welcomed and encouraged.  Only Registered Republicans are listed here.
