Newt Gingrich

Invites You to Join Him

For a Breakfast Rally

with

Republican Candidate for Congress

Brad Zaun

Join Us to Help Take Back Our Country!

Two great events on one big day!

A message from John Bloom, Polk County Republican Party Chairman:

Speaker Newt Gingrich is coming to Des Moines!  He will deliver the Keynote at the First Annual Robb Kelley Victory Club Dinner, on Wednesday, May 26!  Polk County Republicans, in concert with the Robb Kelley Victory Club, will be hosting this event at the Downtown Des Moines Marriott Hotel, with a general reception beginning at 5:30 PM and dinner at 6:45 PM.   I am very excited to see the work we have done here in Polk County recognized by a national conservative leader of Newt’s caliber!

I want Polk County Republican activists like you to to take advantage of the opportunity to attend this important event, because it is your continued support of Polk County Republicans that makes it possible for us to host people like Newt.  You are the very lifeblood of our organization, and events like this help to continuing strengthening our resolve to deliver the message of smaller government and broader liberties.

And while Newt is clearly the main event, the upcoming Primaries create a further opportunity for us to highlight Republican candidates who will be on the ballot in June.  We expect most of the Republican candidates for Congress from Polk County and all of the Republican candidates for Governor to be on hand!

Space is limited, so now is the time to purchase your tickets.  I’ve included a link to our event flyer here (in PDF format).  If you cannot open the flyer, or have any questions, you may call our office at 515-280-6438 or email Darrell Kearney at dkearney@polkgop.com.

To pay for your tickets, you may go to this link, where you will find appropriate information for paying for your tickets online.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at the dinner, and I appreciate your continued commitment to the Republican Party in Polk County!

Warm Regards,

John Bloom,
Chairman, Polk County Republican Party

The Polk County Republican Party and the Robb Kelley Victory Club are pleased to announce the first annual Robb Kelley Victory Club Dinner.  The dinner is an opportunity to honor the work of the late Robb Kelley, who was a former Chairman and CEO of EMC Insurance and an active supporter of Republican politics in Polk County and the state of Iowa.

The dinner will be held on the evening of May 26th, with a Host Reception at 6:00 and General Reception and Dinner at 7:00 .  The location will be announced soon, but will be held in the Des Moines Metro area.  Tickets will be $75 apiece, with half tables of 5 and full tables of 10 providing special amenities to the table sponsors. Members of the Robb Kelley Victory Club will receive complementary ticketing and amenities based on their level of Club support.

We are also pleased to announce that Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, will be the Guest Speaker at the Robb Kelley Victory Club Dinner.  Gingrich was a US Representative from Georgia for 20 years, and was Speaker of the House for the last 6 years of his time in office.  Gingrich has founded and is working with several conservative organizations include “American Solutions for Winning the Future” and “The Center for Health Transformation”.

“This will be a tremendous opportunity for Republicans to remember the great example set by Robb Kelley, whose commitment to community action in Central Iowa lives on through his family today,” said John Bloom, Polk County Republican Party Chairman.  “It is doubly exciting that we can honor Robb’s legacy by having such a dominant figure in Conservative Politics as Newt Gingrich join us in this celebration!”
