                                      The Primary Election is Over


        If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to count up the hours you spent campaigning for candidates
        between January and March! A few tips:
        •  Candidates for office MAY count their hours and report them. Women candidates report hours to your
            PRIMARY RW club. A male candidate reports to either his spouse’s PRIMARY RW club, or reports hours to the
            club closest to his home and of which he is an associate member.
        •  The bylaws still apply during run-off elections. Clubs, club presidents, and club campaign activities chairs MAY
            NOT endorse during any election in which there are two or more Republican candidates. BUT hours spent
            campaigning during a run-off election count the same as always!
        •  Campaigning for candidates in local, non-partisan elections counts as well – with caveats. You must have
            verified that the candidate is a Republican (voted in the most recent GOP primary in Texas), and the endorse-
            ment rule is in force in races with two or more Republican candidates.
        •  Remember, we are counting our time spent on POLITICAL ACTION – so all that time spent planning your Reagan
            Dinner counts! While we want you to campaign for Republican candidates, all the volunteer work that goes
            into making our clubs and the GOP work is time that counts. Please don’t forget to add up these hours, and
            report them!
