The chair of the La Crosse County Republicans, Bill Feehan, hopes to find many people willing to work on the presidential campaign and other races, and he wants to have permanent county headquarters by early next year.

Feehan said the party has to avoid being complacent about its chances in the coming elections.

He also said “small things” added up to lead to Gov Scott Walker’s loss to Tony Evers last fall, including some Republican discontent about the Foxconn development.

Feehan, however, is encouraged by what he said were grassroots efforts that helped elect conservative Brian Hagedorn to the state Supreme Court last month.
