Jeff Monroe

In addition to being the Chair of the Warren County Republican Party, Jeff has a history of doing pretty cool stuff.

He has run police academies in two separate states, worked as a researcher for a crime policy think tank, he’s an author and has consulted governments in multiple states and countries. Jeff is a former college professor and was the Director of the Criminal Justice Graduate Program at Xavier University.

Currently he serves as President of 22three, a firearms retail store, an e-commerce business and a training group. He also leads Think22three, a research organization that focuses on firearms violence and public policy. 

22three has its origin in a simple piece of advice Jeff got from his grandfather. What was it? "Don't get too smart." There's a lot of wisdom in that statement. So, after earning his Ph.D. and becoming a professor and expert in gun control policy and homicide rates, Jeff launched two ventures. 22three, Inc., a firearms outfitter, and Think22three, a think tank, both aim to increase the number of households with firearms. Jeff is a bit of renaissance man who is just as comfortable working an algorithm, sitting in the back of the room, or speaking in front of 1000.

Politically, Jeff served on Lebanon City Council from 2005 to 2013. He has Chaired both the Warren County Republican Central and Executive Committees and is currently Chairman of the Warren County Board of Elections.

In his spare time, Jeff loves hanging out with his wife Wendy (who currently serves on Lebanon City Council) and his two daughters.

Julie Byrne

While traveling to all 50 states before starting college (thanks Mom and Dad!), Julie learned to appreciate the federalist vision of the Founding Fathers. Americans should be able to build communities that reflect our local values and economic needs because one-size-fits-all, national solutions cannot solve most of our problems; they create more because such solutions cannot possibly "fit" every community's interest.  And so, she became a Republican at a very young age.  She met her husband, Matthew, through College Republicans, and went on to intern at the White House during President George W. Bush's administration.

In addition to serving as Vice Chair of the Warren County Republican Party, Julie is a practicing attorney.  She serves on the leadership board of the Cincinnati Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society and is a member of the Deerfield Township CIC.  She and her husband have two daughters and a son.  In her spare time, Julie still loves to travel, and looks forward to taking her children to all 50 states as well.

Matt Nolan

Warren County Auditor Matt Nolan was elected in 2014. Matt, his wife Kara, and their two children live in downtown Lebanon.

Matt and Kara are active in community organizations throughout Warren County. Matt serves as President of Lebanon Kiwanis, Chairman of Elizabeth’s New Life Center, is on the executive committee of the Warren County Republican Party and is a member of the Warren County Bar Association.

T. J. Honerlaw

The grandson of two self-employed grandfathers and the son of a self-employed father, T.J. Honerlaw is also living the American dream of being a small business owner. 

Building on his father and grandfathers' lifelong Republican voting records and their belief in a small, conservative, unintrusive federal government as the Founding Fathers intended, T.J. was naturally drawn to the TEA Party movement and the desire to defend our God-given liberties & religious freedoms.

T.J.'s passion to get more involved was two-fold. First, he was moved by Franklin Graham's quote, “It is no longer enough for Christians to just vote, now they must get involved".  Secondly, after learning more about the Anti-Colonial agenda and Saul Alinsky's two most famous students (Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton) T.J. realized that apathy and ignorance are not acceptable for any true American patriot.

• Born & raised in Mason, Ohio (and currently a member of the Mason City Council)
• Father of two teenage boys
• Bible-believing Christian
• Lifelong Republican

 Bill, an active conservative Republican in Indiana for many years, joined the Warren County GOP Century Club soon after arriving in Hamilton Township.  He was recently re-elected to the Warren County Republican Executive Committee and then elected to the Board of Directors.

Before becoming a volunteer for the Republican precinct in which he lived,  he was President of the Indiana Americans for Conservative Action.  In addition to his full time career as a livestock broker, he spent many as hours as the elected Precinct Committeeman, delegate to the State conventions, and member of the  Indiana GOP Platform Committee.  After helping elect many good Republicans to public office, he was persuaded to run for a district seat on the Indianapolis-Marion County Council.  Each District had approximately 38,000 population, and the elections were very partisan – terms were for four years.  He was elected to eight terms on the Council, and chaired the Council Committee on Public Safety and Criminal Justice twenty-five of those thirty-two years.

A veteran of the Korean War,  Bill holds fast to the Marine motto of “Semper Fidelis,” but also the oft-quoted motto of “God, Country, Corps.”    He describes himself as “Christian, Conservative, Republican” – in that order.  He views local government and honest grass roots politics as the foundation of good government.
