CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) The Red River Republican Women honored 100 years of womens voting rights with a Wine Tasting & Pre-Election Party Friday, July 31 at Wonderland Cafe.

Candidates speaking at the event included Tennessee State Senator Bill Powers, State Representative Jay Reedy, Circuit Court Judge Katy Olita, Montgomery County Commissioner Jason Knight, John Dawson, Doug Englen, Jeff Bryant, Wendy Davis, Joe Shakeenab and Sharon Massey Grimes.

The event was a fundraiser for the organization which is a local group sanctioned by the Tennessee Republican Party designed to accommodate working women. President Corinthia Elder said they wanted to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Womens Suffrage movement.

Women voters have certainly changed the complexion of our society as a whole and have opened new opportunities for service that continues to expand in the present day, Elder said.

Funds raised will support Republican candidates in the upcoming August 6 Tennessee State Primary and the Montgomery County General Election as well as the November 3 Tennessee State General and Clarksville City Election.
