Former Republican National Committee member and party activist Ruth Ulrich was attacked by a raccoon at her home in Monroe on Monday, according to a report by The News-Star.

"Then it decided it was going to hiss and come after me and I had hit it in the face with a shovel three different times, and it would roll away and run right back at you," she told the paper. "Finally, I had Wildlife and Fisheries to come capture it." LDWF officials believe the raccoon was sick, and Ulrich was unharmed.

Ulrich was elected as a Republican national committeewoman in 2008 to represent Louisiana. She was unseated on the Republican Sate Central Committee by former U.S. Rep. John Cooksey in 2012.

Ulrich has been involved in Louisiana and national Republican politics dating back many years. In 2004 she was the chairperson of the Louisiana Bush-Cheney presidential electors.

She remains active in politics today.
