Events

YOU ARE INVITED to attend the next Seminole County Republican Liberty Caucus meeting on Monday September 29th at Victorios Restaurant, 300 Dog Track Rd, Longwood. Our guest speaker will be Emily Duda Buckley, 2026 candidate for State House District #38. As you may know, David Smith is term limited for this seat, and the other Republican candidate who has filed is Marcus Hyatt who spoke to our group earlier this year. The primary is less than a year away!

As a reminder, we still do not have candidates for three Seminole County School Board seats up for grabs in the August 2026 primary. Please help us identify qualified conservative candidates. The open positions are Districts 1, 2 and 5. A candidate must reside in their respective district, but the election is countywide. The School Board race is considered non-partisan, but it’s actually a battleground for conservative vs. liberal agendas! Let me know if you have someone in mind.

On September 29th, please arrive at Victorio’s at 6 p.m. if you wish to order food from the menu. The meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. First on the agenda will be RLC chapter business, followed immediately by Emily Buckley’s comments with a Q & A about her campaign. We always have a great social visit after adjournment!

Please RSVP by 9/22 if you plan to attend, either by responding to this email or sending me at text message. It is not necessary to be a Seminole resident. Thank You!

I look forward to seeing you.

Jim O’Brien

Chairman

RLC Seminole County
