SCCGOP at the Shriner’s Parade

The Belleville Shriner’s Parade was held on Friday evening and the St Clair County Republican Party had a beautifully, patriotic decorated float with many Republican marchers. Several candidates for election marched in the parade and included Robert Enriquez, Secretary of State; Teri Newman, 12th Congressional District; Ed Cockrell, County Assessor; Stephen McArthur, County Sheriff; and Bill Brady (represented by Wes Gozia, Metro East Coordinator. Pictures of the marchers and float can be seen in the slide show. It was a long, hot parade, but everyone enjoyed it very much. Over 6,000 pieces of candy wrapped in Republican logo paper with “Proud American” and “Proud Republican” printed on it. Other mixed candy was handed out as well. The Republican message for St Clair County got out that We Are Back and We Are Strong. Thanks a ton to all those who helped, especially our Young Republicans from Belleville East HS Alex Davis, Evelyn and Melinda. A great conservative way to start the summer of events off with a bang.
