Posted this morning on “chair@delnorterepublicans.org”:
“I am not a new face to the DNRCC, but I am new to the position. I have been politically active since 2016 and served as the Central Committee Treasurer prior to becoming Chair.
I grew up in Crescent City and have spent more than 30 years here on and off, returning in 2007. I am a retired Registered Nurse. I have three grown children and 8 grandchildren. I have been on the Del Norte Healthcare District Board for the last three years. I also teach Sunday School to 8 -11 year-olds at Redwoods Family Worship Center for the last 12 years.
My values and core principles align with those of the DNGOP. I will strive to stay within those guidelines, working to increase voter turnout, promote conservative values, and, as Karen would say, “Electing Common Sense”.
Sadly, Karen Sanders relocated with her family, leaving a vacancy, to which I was voted. She left very big shoes to fill and will be missed dearly by us and many in the community.”
We congratulate Tonya and wish her the best.
DEL NORTE REPUBLICANS RESOLUTION
Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric attacks launched by Hamas and other terrorists.

WHEREAS The Committee affirms the inalienable human rights enshrined in our nation’s constitution of freedom, liberty, and the right to protect its country at all costs.
BE IT RESOLVED that on October 18, 2023, the Del Norte Republican Central Committee hereby unequivocally condemns the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and its citizenry.
