Washington, DC - Teri Galvez is on the DC Republican ballot today, April 3, as a candidate for Republican National Committeewoman. She was recently named as Co-Chair of the Mitt Romney for President Campaign.

- Second, providing a voice at the national level for the Republican Party to highlight the opportunities for a broader appeal to these constituencies, and representing the local party’s positions effectively.
