Kate Wallace was building school choice, literacy reform and rural broadband access in Polk County years before Governor DeSantis appointed her — and her record since shows why she has earned a full term.
Sam Romain
Chairman, Polk County Republican Executive Committee
Polk County is a place where conservative values and personal responsibility still matter. As Chairman, my commitment is simple: recruit, support and elect principled constitutional conservatives at every level of government — because limited government and respect for the Constitution are what give Polk families their best opportunity.
Our officers, precinct leaders and volunteers work year-round to grow our Republican voter base, protect election integrity, and hold elected officials accountable to the values they ran on.
Get involved. Come to a meeting. Together we can build a strong Republican future for Polk County — and keep Florida free.
