Spokane area Republicans are apparently pooling their resources for the fall campaigns to open a "Victory Center" where GOP candidates and their supporters, from the presidential level on down the ballot, can set up.

U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said statewide candidates and campaigns will run their Eastern Washington operations out of the center, to "reach out to voters and to make certain Republican voters mail in their ballots."

They're holding a grand opening at 5 p.m. Monday at the center, which is in the Pier 1 Building, off Division oat 111 West North River Drive.
