A Welcome from the RTC Chairman:
Welcome
to the Madison RTC website. If you have
read our mission statement you understand our goals and objectives as a
political party. In
As an interested Madison Republican you know that we have our work cut out for
us in the coming years. Currently we are
the minority party at the local, state, and national levels. Republicans need to work that much harder to
have our voices heard. This includes how
the town, the state and the federal government allocates funding, because at a
grass roots level we all feel the crunch of the current fiscal crisis.
We live in a beautiful town, in a great state, in a great nation. We need to pay attention and to impact
decisions – to do that we need your help. We are always looking for qualified people to
serve on boards and committees. I hope
to see you at the next Madison RTC meeting or to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Tom Banisch

Elected Official Bios:
