While we have been adding thousands of Republican voters to the voter rolls, Democrats have been losing voters. This is the largest advantage Republicans have ever had in Florida and if the totals keep trending like they have been the difference could be over 1 million voters by the 2024 elections which would be huge. We need to keep registering more Republican voters in Palm Beach County. Please encourage your friends and neighbors especially new neighbors who may have moved in from out of state to register to vote and to register as Republicans. Here is the link to register to vote on the Palm Beach County SOE website: [link removed] Kevin Neal Chairman Palm Beach County Republican Executive Committee PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDORSES EARLY VOTING AND VOTE-BY-MAIL President Trump recently came out in support of Vote-by-Mail and Early In-Person Voting in states that allow it (Like Florida). This comes as Governor Ron DeSantis has also come out in support of Early Voting and won the Early Vote in 2022 (Vote-by-Mail + Early Voting). REQUEST YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT The FloridaGOP is asking you to request your Vote-by-Mail Ballot to ensure that you have a ballot automatically sent to you, which helps remind you of upcoming elections. After you receive your vote-by-mail ballot, you still have three options: 1. Fill it out and return it by mail (all counties allow you to track your ballot, just like Fedex) 2. Fill it out and drop it off at an Elections Office or Early Voting Location in your county. 3. Do not fill out your vote-by-mail ballot, and instead, go vote in person. (Bring your blank vote-by-mail ballot with you to show that you have not filled it out) My preference: I prefer to vote on Election Day. My wife and 3 girls go out for an early breakfast and are one of the first in line right at 7am before school drop off. With that said, both of us always request our vote-by-mail ballot, fill it out, and put it in our desk drawer just incase one of us has to unexpectedly go out of town. With that in mind, if you are a Republican in Florida (Yes, even you Election Day-only voters) I am asking you to contact your County's Election Office RIGHT NOW to request your ballot over the phone. Here’s the link to request a Vote-By-Mail ballot in Palm Beach County: [link removed] Note: As Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, I am committed to chasing every single Republican ballot. We will do this on Election Day AND during the critical Vote-By-Mail window and Early In-Person Voting days. Thanks! -Christian Ziegler FloridaGOP Chairman YOU’RE INVITED!

My name is Mike Letsky, and I am running for the Palm Beach County School Board, District 5, which encompasses Boca Raton, West Boca Raton, and Highland Beach. As a local business owner, a proud veteran, and a parent to two children currently enrolled in the Palm Beach County school system, I have a unique perspective and understanding of our district's challenges and opportunities. Above all, I understand the importance of exceptional education, as my children are navigating the exact system I seek to improve. My campaign is focused on three main objectives: Increasing Teacher Pay: Our educators are the backbone of our school system. They inspire, guide, and encourage our children daily, and their compensation should reflect their invaluable role. By providing competitive pay, we can attract and retain the best educators, ensuring our children receive the high-quality education they deserve. Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Content: The world our children navigate is complex and filled with potential dangers. That's why I am committed to implementing measures that safeguard our students from inappropriate and harmful content, whether online or within school materials. Enhancing School Safety: Ensuring our schools are safe from violence is a top priority. I am dedicated to working with parents, educators, law enforcement, and the community to develop and implement effective strategies to ensure our children can learn in a secure environment. I've been married for over 17 years, and my commitment to family values drives my dedication to this campaign. I aim to bring positive, lasting change to our school system, to provide our children with the best possible learning environment, and to ensure our educators are recognized and rewarded for their important work. I would greatly appreciate your support in achieving these objectives. To learn more about my campaign or contribute, please visit our website at [link removed]. You can also sign up to volunteer or share our message with friends, family, and community members. We can create a better future for our children and community.

MOMS FOR AMERICA, “A CONCERT FOR HOPE,” AUGUST 11 We are excited to share with you our latest initiative, "Second Chance for Success." This program is designed to empower inmates and equip them with the necessary skills and resources for a successful reentry into society. Our focus is on the establishment of food forests, providing CPR and first aid training led by professional firefighters, and offering comprehensive assistance to inmates as they transition back into the community. The importance of this initiative cannot be overstated. According to the Prison Policy Initiative, the unemployment rate for formerly incarcerated people is over 27%, nearly five times higher than the unemployment rate for the general United States population, which stands at 3.6% as of June 2023. Without job training and employment support, these individuals face a high risk of re-incarceration, contributing to a cycle of poverty and crime. On the morning of August 18th, we are hosting a concert featuring world-renowned pianist and composer, Eric Genuis, along with his incredibly talented team of musicians in Kissimmee, FL. This concert is a celebration of our latest initiative, and we would love for you to be a part of it. By purchasing a ticket to this life-transforming event, you are directly contributing to giving these individuals a second chance at life, fostering their personal growth, and reducing recidivism. If you are unable to attend, consider making a donation. Any amount helps and will go directly towards funding our programs. Here's how you can help: Purchase a ticket: Tickets are $25 each and include a continental breakfast reception before the concert. Make a donation: Any amount helps and will go directly towards funding our programs. Spread the word: Share our initiative with your network to help us reach more people. To purchase tickets or make a donation, please visit our website at [link removed] or contact us directly at 863-206-7762. Thank you for considering supporting our cause. Together, we can make a difference and give individuals the second chance they deserve. Your support not only helps these individuals but also contributes to safer, stronger communities for us all.

JOIN MIKE LINDELL'S ELECTION SUMMIT ONLINE, AUGUST 16 & 17 This is an epic online event! Register with CODE PFV at [link removed] and receive a free gift valued at $20! A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM MIKE LINDELL In August of last year, I was praying to God for a solution to fix the integrity of our elections. Everyday normal people spent time, energy and millions of dollars (me included) to accumulate data and information that successfully proved fraud in the 2020 and 2022 elections, but there was no actionable plan to fix it. The media failed the public by being unwilling to look at the evidence and investigate election integrity. At this point, seeing nothing done and no consequences, people have lost hope. I was earnestly asking God for answers. During that prayer, God gave me a plan. It is brilliant and divinely inspired and will immediately secure our election platforms. This plan is unique, has never been done before in world history, and has not even previously been talked about by anyone. It does not rely on legislation, judges, or legal actions, etc. This is such a perfect plan, the only way it fails is if we do not get the word out to the entire country, and why I am spreading the word across our nation. It is critical you get this information. We finally have hope to save our country, and we want you to share this information with family, friends and business associates. We have kept this plan to secure our elections completely secret. Only a few people currently know the details. The government has designated our election platforms as critical infrastructure, yet nothing has been done to fix the problems. On August 16th and 17th I am hosting an event to unveil this plan to the nation, and you will be able to view this for free via livestream. This is broadcasting in 80 languages so everyone can hear and understand the message. Some of the key speakers are myself, Kari Lake, General Flynn, Rudi Guliani, and others. Additionally, representatives from all 50 states will be there to update you on the status of elections in each state. You will come away from this event with renewed hope, and the calls to action you will need to help secure our election platforms. To sign up in advance, visit [link removed] We hope you will support this effort. It is one of the most important things we will ever do as a nation. It is vital to our future to have election integrity, and God’s plan for this is perfect. Regardless of political party, everyone will embrace this plan. General Mike Flynn recently stated, “Mike Lindell has shown me this plan, and the only way it fails is if we do not spread the word.” Please pray for us and for our country during this challenging time. We need to awaken people across this land so they will rise up and stand strong with one voice as a united Christian nation. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 Thank You and God Bless, Mike Lindell PRAYER AND DEBATE WATCH PARTY, AUGUST 23 LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE COMING TO MARTIN COUNTY, OCT. 4 Click here to sign up: Leadership Institute PALM BEACH COUNTY TEA PARTY TO HOST CONG. BRIAN MAST, OCT. 13 Congressman Brian Mast Join us to hear about the workings of the House Republican Majority and the Congressman's work with the Trump campaign. Duffy's Sports Grill 11588 U.S. HWY 1 NORTH PALM BEACH, FL 33408 Dinner 5:30 - 7:00 pm - Open Menu Speaker 7:00 pm - no charge Please RSVP Now Congressman Brian Mast is in his fourth term representing the 21st Congressional District of Florida. Prior to his election to Congress, Brian followed in his father’s footsteps by serving in the U.S. Army for more than 12 years, earning medals including The Bronze Star Medal, The Army Commendation Medal for Valor, The Purple Heart Medal, and The Defense Meritorious Service Medal. While deployed in Afghanistan, he worked as a bomb disposal expert under the elite Joint Special Operations Command. The last improvised explosive device that he found resulted in catastrophic injuries, which included the loss of both of his legs. While lying in bed recovering at Walter Reed Medical Center, Brian’s father gave him advice that has stuck with him to this day–to ensure the greatest service he gave to our country and the best example he set for his children was still ahead of him. Brian took this advice to heart and dedicated himself to finding new ways to serve our country and his community. Brian remained on active duty following the injuries and provided expertise to the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms during his recovery process. After his retirement from the Army, he continued working in counter-terrorism and national defense as an Explosive Specialist with the Department of Homeland Security. Brian subsequently received a degree from Harvard University and volunteered to serve alongside the Israel Defense Forces to show support for the freedom Israel represents throughout the Middle East and the world. In Congress, Brian strives to serve as he did on the battlefield: without regard for personal gain or personal sacrifice. He is a member of two committees: The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, where his priorities include fixing the pressing water quality issues stemming from Lake Okeechobee, and the Foreign Affairs Committee, where he uses his military expertise to help strengthen the safety and security of the United States Brian lives in Fort Pierce, Fla. with his wife Brianna and four children: Magnum, Maverick, Madalyn and Major.
