On August 4, 2026, the Republican party of Grant Count held a meeting to conduct business and hear from some candidates for the upcoming election in November. Two had come for this meeting and future meetings they will be having more statewide candidates come speak and take questions.
A fundraising dinner will take place September 19, 2026, at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center. It will include candidates running in the upcoming election.
Brenda Tozer, Daughters of the American Revolution, came to present her project to the group and ask for help, Project Patriot Chaplain's Closet. The primary hospital wounded soldiers will be taken is in Germany. They arrive with nothing, and this has been a non-funded humanitarian program under the Department of Defense that exists to meet their immediate human needs such as clean clothing and other items. The program serves around 150 warriors every month. Tozer said this has been personal to her because her husband had been evacuated to Germany after being injured by an IED. He remembered receiving a duffle bag with clothing and other items and had deep gratitude. It had inspired her to make this her long-term service commitment.
