McGlowan to Enter Race ??

An recent editorial in online journal, http://www.nems360.com/, ponders the possibility of Angela McGlowan entering the District 1 Congressional Republican primary alongside current candidate, Alan Nunnelee. To date, McGlowan has not formally filed as a candidate, but many predict that she could do so and formally announce her candidacy in February. Proponents of McGlowan believe she is a better choice for District 1 and hope she will enter the race.

The DCRC has heard that Angela McGlowan will speak at the courthouse in Oxford, MS on Monday, January 25th at 5:30 pm. To check out the editorial article, visit http://nems360.com/pages/news_opinion.

DCRC January meeting a success!

Last night's DCRC meeting was a great success! Thanks to all who came, brought food, shared ideas and volunteered to get involved.

The DCRC extends its appreciation to the local elected officials who were kind enough to join us: Sheriff Bill Rasco, Horn Lake Mayor Nat Baker, Circuit Court Clerk Dale Thompson and Chancery Court Clerk Sluggo Davis.

Plus, it was great to host members of Generation Joshua, a group of homeschooled teens committed to advancing civic responsibility! (www.generationjoshua.org)

If you didn't make it, you missed a good time. With over 50 in attendance, the Club discussed its needs for the coming year as well as plans to ramp up efforts to promote and further Republican initiatives in DeSoto County. Several new committees - Hospitality, Fundraising and Research - were formed, and volunteers came forward! And the DCRC made plans to get together as a group socially, as well as host community events such as meet-the-candidate.

The DCRC will now meet the 4th Tuesday of each month! Please mark your calendars. Meetings will still be held at the Bank Plus Training Center building located at 7168 Moore Drive in Southaven and will begin at 6:30 pm. Make plans to catch the next meeting and even get involved!

Thanks again for a great January meeting! See you next month!

Amanda Herring, DCRC President
