Chairman Raja Announces RCAC's New Treasurer

Dear Friends,

Hope you are all doing well and having a great summer.  I just wanted to provide a heads-up with regard to the Treasurer position.  Bob Doddato is stepping down as Treasurer of RCAC due to time constraints with his work, family and  his role as a North Fayette Township Supervisor.   I am delighted to announce that West Deer Republican Committee Chairman Bronco Brnardic will replace Bob and take the helm as Treasurer of RCAC.  Further, Pittsburgh District 2 Republican Committee Vice ChairwomanEileen Holste will take on the role of Assistant Treasurer respectively.  Bronco will be focused on fundraising and Eileen will be focused on the financials/accounting for RCAC.  I thank Bob for his service to his RCAC and look forward to Bronco's and Eileen's leadership in their new roles effective Sept 1st. 

Sincerely,

Raja

Plum & Penn Hills Republican Committees Golf Event October 1
78 New Sign-ups and Three Registration Changes to Republican
The West Deer Republican Committee had an extremely successful booth at West Deer Community Days, held August 5th and 6th. We signed up 78 new contacts to be notified of our events and/or become involved with the committee. Many of these were under the age of 25. And three voters changed their registration to Republican. We also distributed yard signs for Trump, Keith Rothfus and Eli Evankovich along with literature for Toomey and other statewide candidates. We also have orders for additional Trump signs. We offered a simple menu and raffles for various donated items.   Our committee members worked well together to achieve these great results.
Volunteers Needed
We would love for you to come and volunteer!
  • Phone banking
  • Literature drops
  • Stuffing envelopes
  • Door to door with our representatives
PA GOP is starting to knock on doors for the Toomey and Trump campaigns. It is a great way to get involved this summer. Recent polling has shown a tight race in Pennsylvania; we can be the tipping point.

If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please contact Amanda Boris at [email protected] or 724-288-2875  
Inform RCAC of Upcoming Events
