"The Contract was developed to help Rockingham County voters clearly see the positive
direction that Republican candidates want to take us," Dan Zeller, chairman of the
Rockingham County Republican Party said in a Tuesday release.

The Rockingham Republican officials said their version was inspired by the 1994 Contract with America that republicans drafted six weeks before that congressional election. Rockingham's version gives stances including supporting guidance counseling for students, handling undocumented immigrants, fighting litter and ideas on handling budgeting processes.

We received an email from the folks in the Rockingham County Republican Party about their upcoming convention at 9 a.m. March 15 in the Whitcomb Student
Center at Rockingham Community College.

Party members will elect precinct officers, select delegates for the state convention and meet local candidates for office, according to the release.
