Burgess encourages everyone to attend the meet and greet on Feb. 3. “Regardless of your political affiliations, you should be active and attend the meeting to meet the people who will be elected to represent the county. Although Olney has a strong conservative voter base, voters need to participate in the elections process and allow their voices to be heard,” Burgess said.

The Young County Republicans plan to hold their regular upcoming monthly meetings in Olney and Graham throughout the year to get more participation.
