Were you active in the party before? If not, were the existing folks suspicious or helpful?
I first became a PC in 1998, in Maricopa County, AZ. I found it to be a grievous waste of time because, at the time, Maverick McCain was the darling of the County, and I detested him because of his hatred for conservatives. One can only swim against the stream for so long....
20 years later, I retired and moved to Mohave County, one of the "reddest" in the nation at 3:1 ratio GOP to Rats. They were very welcoming of this new blood, so much so the other PCs elected me to First Vice Chair of the County GOP. As for Maricopa County....well, look at what the Rats were allowed to do in the 2020 General Election. An audit of all the votes in that benighted county has just begun, under a threat from the unholy alliance of Antifa and BLM's race riots.
