LINCOLN COUNTY- Nearly 35 people gathered to hear Fanchon Blythe, one of Nebraska's National Committeewoman who helped overthrow the party elites at the GOP convention this past summer.

Blythe claimed the state party is flourishing and coming alive all over the state.

She told the audience that she “eats, sleeps and drinks” her efforts to help rebuild the party organization.

Blythe served as the chair of the Lancaster County Republicans for four years. She became widely known within the party in July as one of the six delegates whose credentials were revoked in advance of the state party convention in July. The six were outspoken critics of the established party line. Despite the attempt to exclude them, they made their way inside the convention hall.

“It was huge, what happened,” Blythe said. “”The state party used to operate mostly from the top, and a little ways down from there. Now, it operates from the bottom to the top. Everyone is included. It is no longer a party that is run by one family.”

Blythe said part of her work as a committeewoman now is to travel around helping county Republicans get organized. From North Platte, she was headed to Ogallala and Scottsbluff. She said in the late summer, she helped Saunders County organize, elect officers and revise their county constitution.

Blythe claimed they have rebuilt the party headquarters and is learning as a collective how to tackle the hard and pressing issues in the state.
