The Concord-Lemay Republican Club recently honored JoAnn P. Raisch for her 50 years of service to the community and to the Republican Party. A half-dozen speakers led by Missouri Republican Party Chairman John Hancock spoke in her honor during a surprise event at Green Park City Hall. The club then presented Raisch an inscribed plaque denoting her many years of public service. She served as the Concord Township Republican committeewoman from 1972 through 1992 and again from 2012 to 2016. She also won the Republican primary in 1976 for the 3rd Congressional District. She is the wife of the late state Rep. William Raisch. Raisch is pictured with her son Bruce.
