Flagler County Republican Executive Committee
A NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
The Final Push: Every Vote Counts!
Fellow Republicans,
We are entering the most important stretch of this election season, and now is the time to focus on GOTV — Get Out The Vote!
Every registered Republican needs to make a plan to vote, whether during Early Voting or on Election Day. Your vote matters, and every vote can make a difference in the outcome of our local, state, and federal races.
Know Before You Go! There is an important difference between Early Voting and Election Day:
Early Voting: You may vote at any Early Voting location open and operating under the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections.
Election Day: You must vote at your assigned precinct polling location.
Please check your voter information and make sure you know your correct three-digit precinct number and polling location. Some polling places have changed, so do not wait until the last minute to confirm where you need to vote. Arriving at the wrong location on Election Day could cost you valuable time and potentially prevent you from casting your ballot before the polls close.
If you need a replacement voter information card, visit the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections office at the General Services Building next to the courthouse in Bunnell.
This election is especially important for our representation at every level of government, including State Representative Sam Greco, Congressman Randy Fine, U.S. Senator Ashley Moody, and Governor Byron Donalds.
For our local races, please consult the Republican voter guide. It also includes the Republican Party of Florida's endorsements concerning the state constitutional amendments, including Homestead Amendment 3.
Take the time to review the information, discuss the issues with your family and neighbors, and make your voice heard.
The work we do now matters. The conversations we have matter. And every Republican vote matters.
Let's finish strong, turn out our voters, and keep Flagler County RED!
In service,
Perry Mitrano
Chairman, Flagler County Republican Executive Committee

THE FLAGLERGOP APP IS HERE!
One App. One Place. Everything FlaglerGOP.
Fellow FlaglerGOP Members,
I'm excited to announce that the new FlaglerGOP mobile app is now available to our members!
If you haven't received the information needed to get connected, please email TheFCREC@gmail.com, and we'll send you the link and instructions to get started.
This is much more than a mobile version of our website. The FlaglerGOP app was built specifically as an interactive, members-only hub to help keep our REC connected, informed, and involved.
Our goal is simple: give members one convenient place to find the information and opportunities they need without searching through old emails, scrolling through Facebook posts, or trying to remember where something was published on the website.
Everything You Need, All in One Place
Through the app, members will be able to:
Stay Informed: See upcoming meetings and events and receive important announcements from the FlaglerGOP Board.
Get Involved: Find volunteer opportunities and keep track of the activities you've signed up for.
Connect With Members: Visit our Member Town Square to communicate, ask questions, share information, and stay connected with fellow Republicans.
Manage Your Membership: Access your personal MY GOP area to review membership information, join date, attendance history, donations, event participation, and volunteer activity.
Check In With Ease: Access your unique member QR code for checking in at REC meetings.
And that's just the beginning. The app is designed to make it easier for members to participate, stay organized, and take advantage of the many opportunities available within our organization.
Getting Connected Is Easy
Once you download the app and log in, you can stay connected without having to log in every time you open it. You can also add it to your phone's home screen for quick access and customize your notifications to receive alerts about the things that matter most to you, including announcements, volunteer opportunities, and meeting reminders.
Going forward, the FlaglerGOP app will become our primary way of keeping members informed and connected.
No more digging through email history or spam folders. No more scrolling through Facebook to find an announcement. No more wondering where to locate your meeting, event, volunteer, or membership information.
Open the FlaglerGOP app, and it's there.
The world is moving further into the digital age, and we intend to use every tool available to communicate better, organize more effectively, engage our members, and strengthen our organization as we work to keep Flagler County RED and advance our America First agenda.
If you haven't connected yet, email TheFCREC@gmail.com to get your access information and instructions.
I look forward to seeing you inside the app!
ONE APP. ONE PLACE. EVERYTHING FLAGLERGOP.
FLAGLERGOP AT THE RPOF QUARTERLY & 2026 VICTORY DINNER
Building Relationships, Sharing Ideas, and Preparing for Election Day
With the midterm election approaching, members of the FlaglerGOP Board recently attended the Republican Party of Florida's Quarterly Meeting and 2026 Victory Dinner. The weekend provided an important opportunity to connect with Republican leaders from across the state, exchange ideas with fellow county REC leadership, and prepare for the final push toward Election Day.
The message throughout the weekend was clear: GOTV — Get Out The Vote!
Preparing for the Final Push
The RPOF Quarterly brought together Republican Executive Committee leaders from counties throughout Florida. These meetings give local organizations an opportunity to share ideas, learn from one another, strengthen relationships, and hear directly from state party leadership about priorities heading into Election Day.
During the Congressional District 6 Caucus meeting, Congressman Randy Fine spoke with REC leaders and emphasized his willingness to help local Republican organizations however he can during the final stretch of the election.
That commitment was echoed by RPOF Chairman Evan Power during a private meeting with members of the FlaglerGOP Board.
As Election Day draws closer, the priority is reaching voters, sharing reliable election information, and encouraging Republican participation at the polls.
FlaglerGOP Takes Second Place in Statewide Call Center Contest!
Flagler County had another reason to celebrate during the Quarterly Meeting.
FlaglerGOP earned second place in the RPOF Call Center Contest after making more than 40,000 voter outreach calls!
This outstanding accomplishment earned our organization a $2,500 award from the Republican Party of Florida.
But the real achievement goes beyond the award. Those 40,000-plus calls represent thousands of voter outreach efforts made possible by dedicated volunteers who gave their time to support our mission.
This recognition demonstrates what a local REC can accomplish when its members work together toward a common goal.
Our volunteers have helped put Flagler County on the statewide map, and their efforts are making a meaningful contribution to the work of reaching voters and encouraging participation.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make this achievement possible!
Celebrating Republican Leadership at the Victory Dinner
The 2026 RPOF Victory Dinner brought Republican leaders, elected officials, REC members, and grassroots activists from across Florida together for an evening celebrating Republican accomplishments and preparing for the weeks ahead.
Members of the FlaglerGOP Board had the opportunity to speak personally with U.S. Senator Ashley Moody and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, both of whom addressed attendees during the evening.
Byron Donalds also took the stage as one of the featured speakers, while Congressman Randy Fine led the Pledge of Allegiance.
We were also pleased to see one of Flagler County's own, Sheriff Rick Staly, joining Republicans from around the state for the occasion.
One of the evening's special moments came when the Republican Party of Florida honored former Florida Governor Bob Martinez with a Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his decades of public service and his place in Florida Republican history.
Beyond the speakers and formal program, some of the most valuable moments happened through personal conversations. Our Board spent considerable time talking with REC leaders from other counties, exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and building relationships that can help strengthen our local organization.
Bringing the Momentum Home to Flagler County
We returned to Flagler County energized, informed, and ready for the final weeks before Election Day.
Our more than 40,000 voter outreach calls demonstrate the tremendous amount of work already being done right here at home. And the work continues!
In the weeks ahead, FlaglerGOP volunteers will continue making calls, staffing outreach tents, distributing Republican voter guides, talking with neighbors, and helping voters find the information they need to participate in the election.
The RPOF Quarterly and Victory Dinner gave our Board an opportunity to strengthen relationships with Republican leaders throughout Florida and bring new ideas and renewed enthusiasm back to Flagler County.
Now it's time to put that momentum to work.
Congratulations and thank you to every FlaglerGOP volunteer who helped make more than 40,000 calls and bring home a second-place finish for Flagler County!
Together, we can make a difference. Let's finish strong!
October General Meeting Recap: Growing Stronger, Staying Connected, and Getting Out the Vote!
The October FlaglerGOP General Meeting was a tremendous success! We welcomed Florida State Representative Sam Greco and Bryant Ortiz, Deputy District Director for U.S. Congressman Randy Fine’s District 6 Office, who shared valuable information and updates with our members. We appreciate their time and their commitment to keeping our community informed.
With Election Day quickly approaching, one message rang loud and clear: GET OUT THE VOTE! We have only a few weeks left to make a difference. Talk to your friends, family, neighbors, and fellow Republicans. Encourage them to make their voices heard and cast their ballots. Every vote matters, and every conversation counts!

Congratulations to everyone who has helped get this important organization off the ground. We look forward to seeing their continued growth and contributions to our Republican community.
Five New Members and a Growing Team!
We enjoyed great attendance at our October meeting and welcomed five new members to the FlaglerGOP! Our membership continues to grow, and even more encouraging is the enthusiasm we are seeing from members who are ready to get involved, volunteer, and help advance our mission.
We're building more than membership numbers. We're building an active, engaged team committed to registering Republicans, electing strong Republican candidates, and raising the funds needed to make it happen!
Honor Our Veterans: Join the November 11th Parade!
Flagler County's annual Veterans Day Parade is coming up on November 11, and this year's goal is to have 250 veterans participate in honor of America's 250th birthday!
Let's help make that goal a reality. If you are a veteran, or know a veteran who would like to participate, please reach out to the FlaglerGOP. Let's show our veterans the appreciation and respect they deserve while celebrating the patriotic spirit that unites us.
The Finish Line Is in Sight—Let's Get Out the Vote!
As we enter the final weeks of this election season, let's keep our momentum going. Make the calls. Have the conversations. Encourage your neighbors to vote. Support our candidates. And, most importantly, make sure you cast your own ballot!
Together, we can make a difference and help keep Flagler County and Florida RED!
Stay involved. Stay informed. Stay patriotic. And let's get out the vote!
YOUR INVOLVEMENT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
FlaglerGOP's mission depends on members who are willing to give their time, share information, and help strengthen our Republican organization.
Whether you're making calls, volunteering at an outreach event, distributing voter guides, helping at meetings, or encouraging friends and neighbors to vote, your contribution matters.
Get connected. Get involved. Get out the vote.
Together, let's keep Flagler County RED!
