With less than two months until Election Day, Scott County Republicans are working to extend their reach by targeting their message to more demographics.
With a plate full of food and some conversation around the table, the Scott County Republicans are sharing their message who typically vote for the other side--minorities.
"Well, I think we need to get our message out better," said Judy Davidson, Chairwoman of the Scott County Republicans.
Among those at the outreach event was Mindy Carpenter, a Hispanic candidate for Scott County Recorder.
"So the Republican Party wants to communicate with them more and inform them of what we do and how important it is to the community and Scott County," said Carpenter.
According to the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, in 2012, 93% of African American voters voted for President Obama, 6% voted for Republican candidate Mitt Romney. When it came to Hispanic voters, 71 % voted for President Obama, 27% voted for Romney.
"Two weeks after the 2012 election when we noticed there were certain demographics that Republicans missed, not only in Scott County, but nationally, I established these task forces," said Davidson, "They include: the minority vote, the young voters, Catholics, business leaders and women."
The task forces focus on issues,
"Certainly immigration is one that's come to the forefront, uh, in terms of the women vote, they have been saying Republicans have a war on women," said Davidson.
As well as their message.
"I think we need to tailor our message to all of those different task forces as to how Republicans can assist in each of those populations," she said.
To get reach a more expanded population to vote Republican in November.
