GOP CHIEF SETS GOAL:
FLIP SCHOOL BOARD AND COUNTY COMMISSION IN 2022

Building on the successes of the St. Lucie Republicans over the last two years, Chairman Kenny Nail has set his Party the goal of flipping both the School Board and the County Commission in 2022.

2020 was a year of record Republican activity in St. Lucie County:

• Dozens of volunteers were recruited and mobilized to get out the vote;
• Volunteers knocked on thousands of doors;
• Tens of thousands of doorhangers with candidates names and GOP positions on Amendments were distributed;
• Advertising was bought by the GOP for candidates to the tune of thousands of dollars;
• The GOP had a strong presence with hospitality tents at all early voting locations to meet voters, hand out palm cards and answer questions.

 As a result, State House District 84 was won by a Republican, Dana Trabulsy, for the first time. The Constitutional office of the Clerk of Court was captured by another Republican, Michelle Miller. A Republican also won a seat on the School Board (Jennifer Richardson).

In 2021 for the first time the number of registered Republicans statewide topped the number of Registered Democrats.  St. Lucie is fast approaching parity in registration through the efforts of committed volunteers. The entire St. Lucie City Council is composed of Republicans, including Mayor Shannon Martin.

“In 2022 we will flip both the School Board and the County Commission” announced Mr. Nail.

“It is within our grasp.” Said Chairman Nail.   Republicans already hold two out of the five School Board seats. Two Democrats are up for re-election to only one Republican. Likewise in the County Commission, Republicans have two out of the five seats with two Democrats and only one Republican up for re-election.

“The Republican Party of St. Lucie County is energized by these successes and the clear possibilities. We have it in us to flip those two Boards – maybe even turn one of them solid Republican!” Added the Chairman.
