HURON — The election of Donald Trump to the White House has reinvigorated members of the National Federation of Republican Women and lifted their spirits when they gather for meetings, the state president of the organization said Monday.
When Marguerete McPhillips of Pennington County hears people say that women were not for Trump in last year’s presidential election, she said she laughs.
“The ladies are growing so upbeat and so happy,” she said at a luncheon of the Beadle County Republican Women.
“Our women are so important to the organization and to the state,” McPhillips said.
“We are a driving force and it’s just a wonder to me that we have so much response from the women throughout the state,” she said.
The South Dakota chapter of the national organization is losing Potter County, however. The club voted to disband when it could no longer sign the minimum of 10 members.
But McPhillips said women at Dakota Dunes and in Lawrence and Butte counties are starting chapters.
