Century Club Fund

January 23, 2026

Dear Republican Friends,

Greetings from the Ottawa County Republican Party! As 2026 dawns, we are starting to focus on the countywide races we will be campaigning for this year. Our Ottawa County Courthouse remains in Republican hands. Three of our Countywide Republican incumbents will be on the ballot in November 2026: Ottawa County Commissioner Don Douglas, Auditor Jennifer Widmer, and newly-appointed Clerk of Court Chris Enoch. Donations to these campaigns will come directly from our Century Club fund. Congratulations go out to John Klaehn, who was elected Ottawa County Municipal Court Judge in the November 2025 General election. He takes office in January 2026.

This year, the Party must raise the funds necessary to support these local Republican candidates and the OCRP Headquarters.  We are asking for donations for our Century Club Fund.  One-hundred-percent of your
contributions will be reserved for and spent on local campaigning. 2026 will be a busy year. It is not only the
250th Anniversary of America’s Founding; there are also Gubernatorial elections. We will be electing top state officials, from the Governor on down. Our Party is praying for a Republican sweep across Federal, Judicial, State, and Countywide offices. We must hold the line and keep Ohio in Republican hands. President Trump needs Ohio solidly behind him.

The OCRP plans to continue to be strong at the local level. That is where our focus and power lies: Ottawa County. We are asking for your help.  Your check made payable to the Ottawa County Republican Party for Century Club membership ($100.00 per individual or $150 per couple) may represent the difference between winning and losing these critical elections in 2026. We would encourage you to join our Golden Elephant Club for $250 or more. (FYI: We are planning a new membership option, Millennial Club, which would provide access to all our events for the year as a VIP for one set price of $1000. More information coming on this membership in March 2026.)
 
We will hold a Century Club Appreciation Breakfast on Saturday, May 2nd at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Port Clinton. We will have a special guest. Invitations will be sent to Century Club and Golden Elephant Club members. 
 
Please consider supporting our Century Club by sending your donation to the Ottawa County Republican Party (Century Club), Lisa Slobodzian, Treasurer, 105 East 10th Street, Port Clinton, OH, 43452. As leaders in our Party, we count on and appreciate your support. The OCRP will work hard to extend the progress we made into the future. We hope that you will become a vital part of our team in 2026.

For questions, please feel free to contact me by calling 419-367-3630.  Thank you!
