Marco Rubio stopped in at the HQ on Thursday morning to help spur the GOTV effort as we wind towards the primary on Tuesday.  Speaker Rubio spoke at length on all the critical issues of the day to an enthusiastic crowd of more than 50 volunteers and visitors.

Speaker Rubio was on fire and displayed a very strong command of all the issues.  His message in the end is that it is up to us to GOTV for Tuesday.  Then we will have all our candidates set so that we can unify and march to victory in the general election in November.

Everyone is reminded that Tuesday is not the Primary for the St. Johns County races.  Whomever wins the County Commission races and judge ships that day will be elected to the full term and will not face a run off.  Your vote is critical on Tuesday.

As Republicans we have seen great success in fighting the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Agenda through the Congress.
