"I can't express enough gratitude for the volunteers who gave of their time and talents to work for a cause they believe in," Rovenstine said.
He said, even though it has been a rough couple of election cycles for Republicans, Kosciusko County maintained its strong conservative principles and gave state and nation al candidates large victories in the county.
He said, four years ago former chairman Mike Gavin handed him a strong party foundation to grow on.
