2018 General Election re-cap. Washington County Republicans should be proud! Turnout was a record for a mid-term election at 64.3%. Every single Republican candidate received a HIGHER percentage of votes than across the rest of the state or districts. Grateful to live in a county of well-informed, conservative Republicans. Great job everyone!

Very impressive win for TEAM Ben Hansen! It was an awesome combination of a great-principled-energetic-conservative candidate, dedicated & hard-working volunteers, generous donors and the support & encouragement of elected Republicans like Gov. Ricketts, Senator Lydia Brasch, Cong. Fortenberry. This was a beautiful team effort and I just wanted to thank all those who chipped in at every level along the way. Every little thing in a campaign makes a bigger difference than you realize. Thanks everyone for their hard work and help!! – WCRP Chairman John Orr
