Speaker: Don Barnett – Board of the Center for Immigration Studies
Come join us for a delicious dinner on Tuesday, October 21, and hear from Don Barnett from the Board of the Center for Immigration Studies who will be the featured speaker for our meeting at Carriage Lane Inn. Mr. Barnett joined the Board of the Center for Immigration Studies in 2024, after serving as a Fellow since 2003.

Based in Tennessee, Mr. Barnett educates state and local officials, as well as the public, on immigration issues, particularly those involving refugees and asylum. He has testified before the Tennessee State Legislature, and his work has informed reports by the New York State Legislature. His articles have been featured in The Wall Street Journal/Europe, National Review, New York Post, The American Conservative, The Federalist, The Washington Times, Christian Science Monitor, Baltimore Sun, The Tennessean, and other publications.

WOMEN INCREASING NUMBERS
The “Women Increasing Numbers” (WIN) campaign will mobilize thousands of women to deliver victories
for Winsome Sears and Jack Ciattarelli. This partnership recognizes what we’ve always known:
Republican women are the driving force behind electoral success. WIN will mobilize thousands of our members nationwide, deploying trained grassroots teams across Virginia and New Jersey for comprehensive voter engagement—from registration drives to poll watching to aggressive get-out-the-vote operations.
This joint campaign shows the RNC’s confidence in NFRW to deliver results. Republican women have
repeatedly proven our effectiveness in election integrity and voter mobilization efforts. Virginia and New Jersey will serve as proving grounds for the kind of effective, women-led ground game that wins elections nationwide. This campaign also represents our opportunity to set the tone for Republican success in the 2026 mid-term. Click HERE to sign up to volunteer! There are several ways you can contribute! Phone calling will begin in October.
