It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Russ Howell, the esteemed Chair of the Republican Party of Luna County. Russ's unwavering commitment, motivational leadership, and tireless efforts transformed Luna County's political landscape, marking a significant shift from blue to red.
Russ Howell was not just a leader; she was a visionary who understood the importance of grassroots engagement. She developed an innovative plan to welcome and engage new residents of Luna County, ensuring they were informed about the Republican Party and how they could get involved. This initiative not only broadened their base but also strengthened their community, reflecting Russ's deep understanding of effective political strategy and community building.
