Arizona Republican Party Chairman Robert Graham is the keynote speaker at the Fountain Hills Republican Club’s annual fundraising breakfast, Saturday, March 19.

The 9 a.m. event has been relocated to the Fountain Hills Presbyterian Church’s Fellowship Hall located at the rear of the church. A scheduling conflict at the Community Center resulted in the change.

Graham, who was elected to the office in 2013, will discuss the upcoming presidential preference primary on March 22, and primary and general elections. He also will discuss procedures for becoming delegates to the Republican National Committee’s Convention in Cleveland in July. The election for Arizona delegates will take place at the State Meeting April 30.

Graham represents the state of Arizona on the RNC, along with elected State Committeeman Bruce Ash and State Committeewoman Sharon Giese.

Graham, a successful businessman with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Global Management and Finance from ASU and who is an honors graduate of the Thunderbird School of Global Management, has brought his vast experience as a business owner to revitalizing the Arizona Republican Party.

During his term, Graham has improved voter data gathering through cutting edge technology and surpassed the Democratic Party in the use of social media. He has reached out to the many diverse ethnic groups in the state and initiated major voter registration efforts to increase the number of Republicans over Democrats. The Republican headquarters have been upgraded during his term.

Graham has mobilized the party at every level to achieve a sweep of all state offices, maintaining a majority in both houses of the state legislature, and flipped the state’s Congressional seats to a majority Republican delegation in 2014.

All GOP elected officials and GOP primary candidates, along with representatives of the GOP Presidential Primary candidates, have been invited to attend. All will be given an opportunity to address the breakfast crowd.

The cost of the breakfast buffet, catered by the Saddle Bronc, will be $15 for members with advance reservations and $18 for non-members and those without prior reservations. Children under 12 are free.

Checks made payable to the Fountain Hills Republican Club should be mailed to P.O. Box 17814, Fountain Hills, AZ 85269. Reservations may be made by contacting Treasurer Nicole Oswald, Replady2015@outlook.com

This annual event is especially popular in an election year, so interested persons are encouraged to make reservations as soon as possible.
