Why I am Running for Re-election for DeKalb GOP Chairman
Dear Fellow Republicans,
In 2021, I stepped up to lead the DeKalb GOP because our county needed bold, strategic leadership to challenge one-party rule and restore election integrity. The fight for DeKalb—and for Georgia—is far from over.
When I took office, DeKalb was the second bluest county in Georgia. Today, thanks to our collective efforts, we’ve made significant strides—we are now the third. We are flipping the narrative to change hearts, minds and votes, but our work is not done.
Together, we have:
• Expanded our Republican base by engaging voters across all communities.
• Implemented real election integrity measures to protect every legal vote.
• Launched aggressive digital and grassroots campaigns to amplify our message.
• Recruited, supported, and elected Republican candidates who fight for our values.
Now, I’m asking for your support to continue this momentum. With the 2026 Mid-Term Elections on the horizon, we must build on our success, expand our movement, strengthen election integrity, and secure Republican victories across DeKalb County and beyond.
TOGETHER, WE WILL VOTE DEKALB RED.
I would be honored to earn your vote at the DeKalb GOP County Convention on March 22nd so we can finish the fight together. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
With Best Regards
DeKalb Republican Chairman
MARCI’S COMMITMENT TO GEORGIA REPUBLICANS
CREATE WIN-WIN SITUATIONS
Winning in DeKalb—and across Georgia—requires a unified, strategic approach. We must engage voters beyond party lines, energize the grassroots, and expand our outreach through key conservative organizations like Turning Point Action and Tea Party Action. By strengthening the DeKalb GOP’s presence and working alongside our County GOP Chairs, Congressional District leaders, elected officials, candidates, and grassroots activists, we will mobilize voters, protect election integrity, and drive Republican victories.
YEAR-ROUND INNOVATION BRINGS ELECTORAL SUCCESS
To win in DeKalb, we must embrace a year-round, data-driven strategy that mobilizes voters beyond election cycles. The DeKalb GOP is leading the charge by building an intelligent digital infrastructure, expanding grassroots engagement, and strengthening our precinct operations. By investing in a targeted ground game—door-to-door outreach, voter contact calls, digital ads, direct mail, and text messaging—we activate Republican voters earlier, engage independents, and expand our base.
RECRUIT AND CULTIVATE WINNING CANDIDATES
For the first time in decades, DeKalb Republicans won in several precincts on Election Day 2024—proof that our down-ballot strategy is working. While we did not secure local victories on this go-around, we are chipping away at the blue wall and lifting the top of the ticket with record uplifts and shifts to the right. Winning starts with strong candidates. By building a candidate-driven infrastructure, DeKalb GOP is identifying, training, and equipping leaders who will fight for our conservative values and turn competitive precincts into Republican victories.
INCREASE THE MARGINS OF VICTORY
The 2024 election proved that DeKalb is changing. While Democrats still hold the county, Republican turnout surged—doubling in key precincts and marking the largest rightward shift in metro Atlanta. Support for President Trump in DeKalb outperformed the state’s average Republican gain, proving that our ground game, digital outreach, and voter engagement strategy are making an impact. Every percentage point shifted brings us closer to breaking the blue stronghold and expanding Republican victories in Georgia. The momentum is real—the blue wall is cracking. Let’s keep pushing forward.
ENSURE FITNESS – FAITH, INTEGRITY & TRUST IN OUR ELECTIONS
Election integrity requires constant vigilance, enforcement, and a proactive strategy. While SB202 strengthened voter protections, SB222 took it further by banning third-party election funding and closing key loopholes, yet lawfare against the Secretary of State continues as we fight for accountability. Through the FITness Initiative—Faith, Integrity & Trust in Our Elections—DeKalb GOP has trained and deployed over 280 poll watchers and election monitors to safeguard every stage of the process. We must continue cleaning voter rolls, refining ballot curing and ballot-chasing programs, and ensuring uniformity in election operations. The fight for election integrity isn’t over—DeKalb GOP is leading the charge to protect every legal vote and secure fair elections in Georgia.
CONNECT WITH MORE LIKE MINDED GEORGIANS VIA TARGETED COMMUNICATIONS
Expanding the Republican movement in DeKalb requires a relentless, targeted communications strategy that amplifies conservative values and reaches voters where they are. Through earned media, direct engagement, and digital outreach, the DeKalb GOP continues to connect with grassroots conservatives, donors, candidates, elected officials, and key influencers to strengthen the coalition. By fostering two-way conversations and leveraging media platforms, the focus remains on broadening our reach, energizing voters, and growing Republican support in DeKalb and across Georgia.
FUNDRAISING REQUIRES A RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Winning in DeKalb and Georgia demands a strategic, results-driven approach to fundraising. The DeKalb GOP Investor Program is designed to move beyond transactional giving by engaging donors as true partners in victory instead of exhausting small-dollar donors with constant asks.
By demonstrating how contributions directly fund voter outreach, grassroots engagement, election integrity efforts, the underwriting of qualifying fees for Republican candidates, and the groundbreaking Vote DeKalb Red digital ad campaign, trust is rebuilt, and enthusiasm grows. DeKalb GOP is leading the way with a disciplined, investment-focused fundraising model that turns financial support into Republican victories.
