"It was a lovely aernoon—such an aernoon as only September can produce when summer has stolen back for one more day of dream and glamour." ~ L.M. Montgomery Are you committed to making Hunterdon County the best county it can be? Do you want to work alongside our Republican elected officials and local volunteers to ensure your best interests are represented? If so, we have two great clubs you can join: The North Hunterdon Republican Club and The Tewksbury Republican Club. Both clubs are affiliated with the Hunterdon GOP, and each club meets in person to discuss local and federal policy, share volunteer opportunities for local campaigns, and hold political and social events throughout the year. The clubs have a lot of opportunities to help Republican causes and campaigns on the horizon, especially with the Governor's race and Assembly races in the Fall.
