Republicans in Ravalli County

March 21, 2024 by Guest Post

by Doug Bohn, Victor

Two factions of “Republicans” exist in Ravalli County today.

The vocal faction is the defeated leadership of the Ravalli County Republican Central Committee (RCRCC), who, rather than assisting in a peaceful transfer of power, seeks revenge by disrupting the new leadership’s efforts to reach constituents and sowing division. These sore losers, seeking power anywhere, wrested control of the North Valley Pachyderm Club through unannounced, surprise elections, usurping the rights of legitimate members, dividing yet another conservative group.

These people, now falsely claiming to be MAGA, are led by the “Republicans” who voted to adopt rules to begin the legislative session that rendered the Republican Supermajority Legislature mute by allowing Democrats power and position to derail true Republican efforts like property tax reform, parental rights and voter security. Ravalli County legislators were directly involved in this derailment and now tout this as an accomplishment! Gaslighting at its finest.

These same Republicans supported the MTGOP in forcing the local Central Committees across the state to hold their leadership conventions AFTER the State Convention. A direct violation of MCA 13-38-205. This delay cost the Republican Central Committees over six months of action in a critical election cycle and prevented the many MAGA/America First conservative Central Committees from having representation in electing who would lead the MTGOP through the 2024 election cycle, enshrining a tyrannical regime in the MTGOP. This corrupt action by the MTGOP exposes their top priority; to control the people, not to empower them.

The overthrown leadership of the RCRCC, which includes MTGOP leadership, is ramping up their efforts to further deceive Ravalli County by scheduling an event one week before the official RCRCC spring kick-off event. Featured speakers will be those endorsed by the establishment MTGOP, many of whom were previously mentioned as gaslighters. The old guard is actively recruiting candidates to oppose those who stand firm with former President Trump and America First from the precinct level on up. They desperately want their power back before they can be exposed through contrasts in actions.

After 13+ years, the RCRCC is now held by true MAGA/America First representatives. If you’re weary of Republicans who surrender your rights while placating you, I encourage you to learn about the candidates being supported by the new RCRCC at the precinct and state levels. Come meet them and Professor Clemets, creator of the hit movie “Let My People Go!” April 6th at the Fairgrounds.

The RCRCC appreciates and welcomes the support of ALL people who hold fast to the traditional values and rights historically held by residents of Montana. The RCRCC is proud to support candidates willing to stand in restoring, securing and protecting those rights. 

The era of go-along-to-get-along is over! The fight to keep it is just beginning. It’s worth it!

Since 1776 our government’s sole purpose is “To SECURE THESE RIGHTS governments are instituted among men.”

    Ravalli County Republicans: the party of discord, disfunction, and disrespect. Their own worst enemies.
