RON WESEN,  NCRCO President

Welcome to the National Conference of Republican County Officials.  We provide support and information to Republican County Officials who serve all across our country.

NACO is a great organization which allows 3069 counties from around the country to come together and work on issues that affect us at the local level. NACO is a nonpartisan organization, but we as Republicans, need to be actively involved in all of NACO standing committees to make sure our voices are heard.

We are the elected officials that see our constituents on a daily basis as we provide the leadership that our citizen expect.  It is our responsibility to provide the local services that make our local communities thrive.  Part of our responsibility is to make sure Federal Policies don’t have unintended consequences to our local communities. This is done by building relationships with our Federal Senators and Representatives, no matter their party.

President Trump’s administration has made a huge effort in reaching out to counties to partner with us. All of us have been invited to “Regional State Leadership Days” hosted by the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.  These events give us a chance to hear from Senior Administration Officials as they share federal- state-local priorities.

Going into the 2020 election cycle, we need work to elect Republicans all the way down the ballot, from local school boards, to city and county councils, state and federal offices and President Trump.  We need keep our discussion to issues that our constituents know we have authority to move forward.
