Now that voting has started, it is important to remind all voters just how critical this election is. As most voters who pay attention already know, Madison County officially flipped to a predominantly Republican County on May 1st of this year and that trend has continued. Since May 1st, the Republican voter registration lead has increased to an amazing 448 voters. For a small county, that is a historic change. In 2022, every Republican candidate that we endorsed won; that too was historic.
But is this really a change? Madison County voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020. A quick check of prior elections and it becomes clear that this is a conservative county and always has been. In the past, Democrats have dominated the choice of candidates to the point that it made no sense to register as a Republican because you did not have many Republicans to vote for. That too has changed dramatically. The Madison County Republican Executive Committee is very proud to announce that we fielded strong candidates for every single local race for the first time in history. The Democrats are now the party unable to find candidates for every race. Can you blame them? Who wants to run against Republicans now and lose?
