Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome. It's time now for a community connection right here on K one, the one you trust and we are rock. And how are we doing today, Quinn And hey, we're doing good. It's Thursday. Thursday's sunny out there. Well, you know, last time we spoke it was starting to get a little bit cold, but the things have changed into Well, we've got the Association of Republican and Other Conservatives Washington County all set up for a big
to do coming up on the nineteen. Tell us about it. Well, that to do is we are promoting today. Well, we talked about our our meeting coming up, but Congressman josh Urkeen is going to be back in town. He's doing three days of live town halls and concluding Mondays travels around the district here in Bartlesville. So he's going to be at the center from six to seven o'clock and we are encouraging everybody who is listening and to tell
their friends come out and dialogue with the congressman. He did a teletown hall very recently and he's really big on engaging with people live telecommunications, So we want people to get up to that, so we moved our meeting to accommodate him being here. All right, well, this is great, And speaking of the meeting coming up on the twenty sixth, Miss Julie, what can we expect, Well, we can expect to talk about everything Washington County eating.
So we're going to have a panel and we're going to have a great discussion about our county politics and who our leaders are and what that looks like to take Washington County forward in the future. And so we'll have some of our commissioners there, We're going to have our assessor there, the sheriff is going to be there, and so you know, we've always said that to know what is going on locally is just as important as knowing what's going on
nationally. So you're going to have an opportunity to go all the way up nationally and see Josh purkein on Monday and then come to see us the next Monday and talk about county. So that's that's a really comprehensive look at what's going on and how you can be involved and how like Quinn said, have that dialogue because it's important. You know, when I was younger, we
get that Civics lesson in junior high and in high school. I guess they teach it somewhat these days, but it's not necessarily probably as rigorous as it once was. This is a great way to kind of catch up on just how things work, and you know, it's not hard, but it's always great to learn or relearn exactly. So one of our goals as an organ as an association is to inform and educate the electorates. And so part of the program a week from Monday is going to be, as you said,
one of the commissioners would be there, Mike Dunlap. We're also going to have the district attorney, so we're giving a scope of what goes on in the county and a lot of people just don't understand all that goes on in the county, and it's going to be interesting that way. But also you had Mike Bouvier in here recently, Yes, a commissioner who's not going to file for reelection, and so filing comes up. It's April third, fourth, and fifth, I believe it is at the election board here downtown,
and so we know there's going to be one seat open. So our meeting actually last November to run with it was what should you be thinking about before you even file? And we had a good turnoff for that and some interested people in that particular position, maybe exploring others, because again, we don't want just an informed electorate. We want people informed who want to be elected, understood, undersould. There's a lot more of that goes along with just
the title and a meeting on Mondays downtown. And if you're not aware of what that's all about, who you're in for an education, you're in for an education. And so we have Todd mathis the assessor, and Todd is like one of the youngest and one of the longest standing assessor like in the States. And you probably at least need know how to run a calculator to be an assessor. I don't know what the qualifications are, but I've worked with Todd. He's very very smart, smart smart, And to know what's
behind the role and the responsibility and the elected position is important. And these are people and they have lives outside of what they do for us as a community, and so just to get to know them and dialogue with them, because I think for a lot of people it's like, oh, well, that's Josh Brokeen. He goes to Washington, it might be intimidating to them. So to kind of drill down and understand who they are as a person
and understand what they're representing us as we the people is important too. So I think think it's good to kind of break down that that stance of well, they're so and so, and I'm just you know, a local person here in Bartlesville. So about year and a half ago, Jock was just a local. Yeah, he was running those horses. I think that's important, you know, developed that relationship or just know them as a person. I think that's important too. And the role that they carry, because it's
not just that's not the only thing. They are their husband and a friend and a community member, and so that's important to understand who they are as a person as well. And sometimes they're trying to run their family business all in between exactly. And so joshuad congress member Keen will have members of its Josh because you know, yeah, you have to know he's members of his
team with whom he always does. And so locally, Derek Sisney is the field wrap in our area and Dan Harrigan is going to be there, others will be there with him. But one thing I I love about associating with this wider group, it's not just about the politics. We recently had a ribbon cutting for the Chambers of Commerce as had joined that last year, had
a ribbon cutting. Had a lot of fun with that, and to be able to promote things like their legislative programs they have the first one, I think the first one of the year is today with pat Nick Farren, thank you over at Tri County Tech. And so we want to let people know about those kind of events as well. They're important to benefit of learning and being informed. Now, if I'm noticed taking back to the guy with the numbers, he is the numbers guy, and boy wow, yeah he's a
numbers Guy's a lot of fooling. And that's important too because we're going to see some big things come up this next year. Both nationally. I think we're going to hear a lot about immigration. We're going to hear about, you know, the stance on abortion. We're going to we're going to see some of those that are running for election talk about those topics. And then
locally, what will our issues be. I think fiscal responsibility will be up there, all those things that stand firm for what Republican or conservative stands for. And so I think we'll see that pop up as well. And so you know you're going to get it from national all the way down to county level in the next couple of weeks if you join us. Wow. So coming up on the nineteenth, who can attend the town hall with Josh Murkin?
Anybody can attend. This's the one spot in Washington County where he will be speaking on the if I recall in this particular day, and so we have people come out from north to southeast to west and come here Josh Murkin dialogue with him. He wants to hear from people, and he does dialogue with you and on the media. On the twenty sixth All Things Washington County crossing seconds starting at six thirty. Is this anyone who's interesting if you live
in Washington County, we want to see there. You know, we are Republicans and we stand for conservative values, and so that will be kind of where we lean in terms of what they talk about. But it's going to take it's going to give you a comprehensive view of some of the things we stand for as a party, and then some things that they stand for individually
as they work through their roles for our county. Hey, Quinn, how can people find out more about the Association of Republican and Other Conservatives of Washington Guide That is, they can type all that out on our Facebook page, which which is growing, so we will encourage people you know, like and share and help us together where we're adding more information to that. If you have questions, if you have information you want to share, send that to
info at r OCWC dot com. Our contact list is actually growing, and we are Republican and other Conservatives and we're having other conservatives showing a lot of interest. Yeah, and we're having fun in a conversation and the dialogue and
we're open to, you know, hearing each other out. And I think it's been a great opportunity for a lot of people in our community who might not want to be necessarily locked into, you know, some things, and so we give them an opportunity to come and have dinner and laugh and get educated and learn to build relationships and yeah, and learn something and be open to the conversation to move our county and move our nation forward. Exactly.
You know, we can either talk at each other and talk with each other. That's think that's what you're doing. That's a big thing. Yeah, thank you for coming in today. It's always great to have you. Thanks for having us. Thanks, thank you very much. We've got more coming up.
