Vermont Republican Party Chairman Paul Dame is urging Vermont Republicans to “Bank Your Vote” in the Tuesday, March 5 Town Meeting Day & Republican Presidential Primary by voting early in person at their town clerk or by making a plan to vote on Primary Election Day.
“Presidential primaries only come once every four years, and it’s the only chance that Republicans in Vermont get to influence the conversation at the national level,” said Dame. “Our towns and our states can thrive when commonsense, level-headed Republicans start getting more involved. When we bring our fiscally-conservative orientation to local, state, and national government it’s a win for everyone in our community.”
