GOP Senate Campaign Arm Plans Sea Island Retreat as Shutdown Threatens

An NRSC spokesperson declined to say whether the gathering will go forward if the government shuts down.

Overview

  • The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s fall meeting is scheduled for October 3–5 at the five-star Sea Island Resort in Georgia.
  • The invitation lists buffet meals, pickleball, golf, shooting, and lawn games, as coverage highlights potential shutdown impacts in which essential workers would work without pay and others could be furloughed.
  • Published reporting cites nightly room rates at the resort of roughly $495 to $599.
  • Accounts conflict on costs: one report citing the invitation says attendees would pay about $500 to $600, while another says the NRSC is covering the trip.
  • An NRSC spokesperson refused to comment on plans if the government closes, and coverage notes the DSCC has a Napa retreat slated for October 13–14.
