SPONSOR

Welcome Republicans!

We are getting geared up for the July 25, 2026 State Central Committee meeting in Pierre. The meeting will be held at the Larkspur Landing Event Center.

Also, the afternoon of July 24, 2026, we will have a training at the Larkspur that will be put on by the Leadership Institute. The cost is $15 per participant, you can also pay by card the day of the event.

After the training, we will move right into a social event right there at the Larkspur.

We are still finalizing a few details, but most are worked out and we are looking forward to seeing everyone there.
