Shirley Vail - Vice Chair

I have lived in Victor Township, Clinton County for 50 years. I am married to Claude Vail and we have two grown children and six grandchildren.

I have been involved in grassroots politics for many years. I have worked with school board elections, township and county wide candidates, statewide and presidential campaigns.

I personally have served as a township trustee in Victor Township and continue to serve as a precinct delegate. I also serve on the Clinton County Habitat for Humanity as chair of the Family Selection Committee.

I enjoy working with the members of the Clinton County Republican Party and the many volunteers that assist in promoting our candidates.

I encourage Clinton County residents to come to the monthly meeting or an event and get involved. You can make a difference.
