The Board

President

Janice Anderson

For several years Janice has faithfully participated in the Snohomish County Republican Party (SCRP), serving as a PCO in the 39th Legislative District (LD) for more than a decade. She has been an active part of grassroots efforts to get Republican candidates elected to public office and to support the SCRP through participation in a variety of events and campaigns. She regularly attends LD meetings, Central Committee meetings, Precinct and County Caucuses and Conventions. Since retiring at the end of 2018, she has regularly volunteered at the SCRP office, and was given the Republican National Committee’s Eagle Volunteer Program award on February 21, 2020 for outstanding volunteer service. Most recently, she was an active member of the SCRP Platform Committee that revised, refined and updated the current Platform. She is an avid supporter of former President Trump and was a member of the Trump Leadership Team in Snohomish County. She believed strongly that his reelection was vital to the stability of our democratic Republic: to our economy, to our place as leader on the world stage, and to our shared values. She still supports him, his policies, and any future role he might play in restoring our country to its’ foundational principles.

Immediate Past President

Peggy Ann Tuttle

[email protected]

Peggy has been a resident of Snohomish County for the past 48 years. She is the proud mother of 4 sons and 10 grandchildren! Who are the delight of her life! She enjoys the country life on her small sheep farm in Sultan, Washington. Peggy is the Director of Good Samaritan International a charity mission in Guatemala, where she has worked with the Mayan Indigenous people as a missionary for 25 years. She is an active member in her local church and has been a Bible study teacher and speaker. She has a strong background in administration ranging from serving on the Board of Directors for International charity organizations, facilitating U.S. medical and surgery teams to Central America, to developing Bible programs and distributing hundreds of thousands of children’s Bibles in Africa, India, and Central America. Peggy is a strong conservative Republican and campaigned for Ronald Reagan. However, her desire to be more involved serving her country began last year when she joined the Evergreen Republican Women’s Club after returning to the U.S. from Guatemala. Peggy said, “God’s grace has been bestowed upon America once again. This is a critical time in our country’s history for Christians throughout our nations to get involved! We can make a lasting difference in our nation’s future by letting our light shine in local, state, and national government.”

Past President

Peg Stevens

Born and raised in Berea, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, Peg graduated from Ohio University with a BS in teaching and Ohio State University with an MA in Student Personnel Administration and was recruited to Seattle University as a Resident Director in 1980. Her career took her briefly away from education to Rainer Bank in Operations, where she met her husband, Terry, of 34 years, a Seattle native. She then returned to academia as an Academic Advisor for the School of Nursing at the UW. Being blessed to be an at-home mom for 10 years, she returned to the working sector as a Special Needs Teacher in the Northshore School District for the next 16 years and continues working a respite provider. Currently retired, she had become increasingly interested in where WA and our country was headed! As a Christian, patriot, and a firm believer in the principles of our Founding Fathers, she became active in seeking change on a small scale in the WA area, as a PCO. She joined several conservative organizations including EWRC, SCRWC and Bothell/North King County Republican Women’s Clubs, worked on a local campaign and for the “Just Want Privacy” initiative. She remains encouraged by Margaret Mead’s quote, “that a small group of committed citizens can change the world” and in using this philosophy, we can indeed be a force to help Washington go Red!

First Vice President, Programs

In 1981, she married Fireman Dave (now just retired in 2020 from 40 years of service, three in So Cal, and 37 with Seattle FD) and in 1983 they moved to Redmond, WA. Ten years later the Beisels moved to the country town of Sultan, continued raising two wonderful sons and have been there ever since.

She remained a poll worker for many years, worked on LOTS of campaigns and is the PCO for her Winter Lake Precinct in the 39th LD. She has been a member of the Evergreen Republican Women's Club for around 15 years, with quite a few of those years spent on the Board, including the President's office. Amie loves God, family, friends & country. She loves homemaking (and greatly enjoyed being a Homeschool Mom for 15 years), church/Bible study, sports, civic events and defending the freedom of her beloved country...America!!

Jeannette Sumpter

Treasurer

Living in various parts of the Pacific Northwest with her husband of 42 years, Jeannette raised two sons, 17 years apart. She obtained a BS degree in manufacturing engineering from Oregon State University at the age of 50. After losing her husband to cancer in 2007, she moved to Bothell to be close to her older son and his family. Her employer, Hewlett Packard, was making cuts at about the same time that Jeannette came to realize that her generation was passing massive debt on to her grandchildren. This led her to join a number of conservative organizations, among them the ERWC. She is a PCO in the 44th Legislative District and has served as Snohomish County District Director for WFRW, Communications Chair for Snohomish County Republican Party, VP Membership and Treasurer for ERWC. When she is not trying to save the country, she loves spending time with her family and watching her grandson play basketball.
