The Churchill Republican Women are having a busy autumn leading up to the general election in November.
The CRW and Norm and Sue Frey hosted a barbecue for Adam Laxalt, the Republican candidate seeking the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Catherine Cortez Masto.
About 120 people attended the event including county and state elected officials as well as the president and some members of the Fernley Republican Women.
The CRW also signed up a new member at the event.
The next meeting of the CRW is Oct. 20 at the William N. Pennington Life Center’s conference room. The speaker is Stavros Anthony, a member of the Las Vegas City Council, who’s seeking the lieutenant governor office.
In Nevada, the lieutenant governor is not part of the governor’s ticket. The lieutenant governor presides over the state Senate and casts tie-breaking votes when necessary. During the four-year term, the lieutenant governor chairs the state Commission on Tourism and serves on several other state boards related to small business, transportation and economic development.
