"Lord Cornwallis came to Charlotte in the fall of 1780 on his way to destroy the Continental Army, but he only stayed sixteen days.  The local partisans were just too hot for him, and he referred to the region as “A  Hornet’s Nest of Rebellion” 

Mecklenburg County and Union County, NC - August 7, 2019.  We are excited to announce the formation of the Hornet’s Nest Republican Men’s Club (HNRMC).  HNRMC is organized under the North Carolina Federation of Republican Men an affiliate organization of the NCGOP.  “I am thrilled!” says Bob Pruett, President of the North Carolina Federation of Republican Men.  “As we continue to build out our network of clubs across the state, it is fantastic to see a club come together regionally to support the Republican cause.”  It is open to all Republican men in the Southern Piedmont region of North Carolina.  “Our Mission is simple” says Dan Barry its new President, we aim to recruit, develop, support and elect conservative Republicans to Public Office.”  The 2020 Election Cycle is incredibly important and we plan to work tirelessly along side the North Carolina Republican Party and it’s affiliates from across the region including MeckGOP and UnionGOP to push our candidates on to victory.

The inaugural leadership group is made of GOP leaders from across the region.  In addition to Dan Barry are former County Commissioner Matthew Ridenhour, Board of Education Member Sean Strain, Activists Kevin Abplanalp, John Powell, Ken May, David Willis, Mike Hicks, Bob Wilberger, Stewart Taylor and Steve Huff.
