I live in a lefty state, NJ. It's actually more purple than you've been led to believe. My friend started a GOP Executive Committee in the town over. The town went from Dems running unopposed to almost half the town government being Republican. I asked him how I could do it my town in his Facebook group. I was immediately contacted by the county GOP. I created a town GOP page and have over 60 members in a week. Our first meeting is next week.
Take action! We can take over at the local level. Then we worry about state and national seats. Let's build a solid base they can't knock us off of. Good luck pedes!
Find out who the members are and call them directly. They will be listed on the state gop web page if not the local.
