Dear Hamilton County Republicans,
Did you see the election results Tuesday night? I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news regarding our recent election results. These results showcase what you can achieve when you have an active county party, great candidates working tirelessly, and a big tent of volunteers from all factions of the Republican Party, coming together on one common goal!
First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Sue Finkam for her resounding victory in the Carmel Mayor’s race, where she secured an impressive 14 percent win. Sue, your commitment to our community and tireless efforts have been duly rewarded, and we are all proud to have you as the next Mayor of Carmel.
Our success doesn’t stop there! I am equally proud of the rest of the Hamilton County Republican candidates and their teams, who demonstrated remarkable strength in their races, resulting in a series of significant wins.
Our team worked tirelessly to make this happen. County Party raised a record-breaking amount, over $430,000, and the majority of those funds were allocated to crucial initiatives. We ran an aggressive absentee ballot campaign, defended our candidates against vicious negative attacks, and executed a Get Out The Vote campaign on Election Day with precision. Our candidates and their volunteers knocked on over 50,000 doors, made 200,000 calls, mailed over 500,000 mail pieces, and sent over 1,000,000 texts.
I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for your hard work, dedication, and unwavering support throughout this election. Our victories are a testament to your efforts, and I am honored to be part of such an amazing team.
Let’s continue to work together to serve our constituents and uphold the values that make Hamilton County a great place to live.
Once again, congratulations to Sue Finkam and our entire Hamilton County Republican team for their well-deserved victories!
Mario Massillamany
Chairman, Hamilton County Republican Party
