Habeeb for Champaign GOP Chairman

 

Dear Friends,

I’m happy to share with you my desire to be elected the next chairman of the Champaign County Republican Party. As a long-serving active member of Champaign County’s civic and business communities I understand the importance of having principled conservative-minded elected officials in our local, state, and national governments. I also understand the tremendous amount of hard work, organization, and enthusiasm it takes to help each one of them get elected. That is why I want to lead our party into the next election.

The upcoming 2012 elections are a crossroads for our communities and the Republican Party. The newly redrawn county, state, and national electoral maps, require most representative seats to appear on the 2012 ballot. As a result the Champaign County Republican Party must be stronger than ever. Together we will build a party that stands ready to recruit, develop, and campaign for candidates who are not only principled, but electable. Together we will develop a professional organization that provides a strong foundation for our party to grow and win elections. Together we will reach out to the greater community to spread the word about our candidates and to turn voter frustration into positive action through involvement opportunities.

I’ve talked to many of our precinct committeemen and active volunteers about my desire to serve. I’ve been encouraged by their support and their ideas for the future. You can learn more about my early goals for the party and my personal and professional background here. I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas and how you’d like to help make them happen. Please email, Facebook, or tweet them to me at any time!

Let’s go team!

Habeeb G. Habeeb
Treasurer, Champaign County Republican Central Committee
