Michigan Republican Party Launches One of the Earliest and Largest GOP Ground Games in U.S.

LANSING, Mich., July 25, 2013 – The Michigan Republican Party is paving a bold new path to victory. With 10 newly opened offices and regional staff in all corners of the state, the Michigan Republican Party has launched one of the largest and earliest ground game efforts in the nation.

“We’re building the most expansive field program the GOP has ever seen, and we’re doing it earlier than ever before,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. “Republicans will be in communities engaging with and listening to voters where they live, work, and worship – not months, but years before Election Day.”

“We’re proud to partner with the Republican National Committee in our effort, and announce our new statewide field director Dan Hennessey,” said Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak. “Our team has already started putting boots on the ground and solidifying the path to victory in Michigan – not just in 2014, but into 2016 and beyond.”
