A message from the President of the Montana Federation of Republican Women.

It is with great humility that I begin a two-year term as president of the Montana Federation of Republican Women. Montanans pride themselves in being self-sufficient, conservative, strong and hardy, friendly, with an ongoing love of the land, mountains, and our beloved Big Sky. Over the past 25 years, Montanans have become politically complacent assuming this state would always remain conservative. Complacency is a thing of the past. Over the next two years, the Federation will focus on increasing membership, campaigning for Republican legislative candidates, and supporting our communities through projects that teach the fundamentals of strength through freedom. The Montana Federation of Republican Women has a great legacy. We have been leading for over 100 years. We were inspired by the Republican Platform of 1872 which said: “The Republican Party is mindful of its obligation to the loyal women of America for the noble devotion to the cause of Freedom.” Our mission here in Montana is to have women from all age groups and walks of life as key players at the political table on local, state, and national issues. Our goal is To Win!!

Be Informed! Be Involved! Be Invested! Join the Montana Fedration of Republican Women and work to keep America, Montana and our homes free.

As part of their involvement with the Mamie Eisenhower Literary Program, Flathead County Republican Women have purchased 20 copies of the book, If the Walls Could Talk, by Jane O’Conner. The book tells humorous (and sometimes scandalous) stories about our former United States Presidents and their families. As they have done in the past several years, the Republican women distributed books to 20 elementary schools in Flathead County. Pictured is Caroline Solomon, (right) who presented a copy of the book to Elrod School Librarian, Laurie Latimer.
