Ken Smith Announcing Bid for the Johnson County Republican Party Chair

In recent weeks I have been working with leaders from Gardner, Olathe, Overland Park, Lenexa and Mission who have asked me to step forward and run for Chair of the Johnson County Republican Party.  I look forward to working with all local party organizations.  The Olathe Republican Party is a great example of strong conservative leadership and I’m excited about the possibilities of the new groups coming out of Gardner and Overland Park.  These city organizations do not compete with, but rather strengthen, the County and State party organizations.  The potential has never been greater for recruiting new leaders for precinct committeemen and committeewomen and for local government offices.  I also look forward to working alongside and promoting the work of the new legislature as they advance the ideas of our pro-growth governor.  I am a conservative who supports limited government, the rule of law, small business and family values.  This is a team effort and I hope to earn your support.
