Leander Area Republican Women

is a grassroots organization that works for, and promotes Republican ideas and values. We do this by working with Republican Party nominees, being informed politically, and promoting effectiveness of women in government.
 
LeanderARW is proud to be part of the Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) and National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW). We are also registered with the Texas Ethics Commission.
 
We are committed to fostering loyalty to the Republican Party, and to promote its principles and candidates in all elections including non-partisan elections.

Established in 2020...

In October 2020 the women of Leander saw a need to establish a local TFRW club. The city was, and still is growing very fast, and a number of new Republicans are moving to the area almost daily. With this need, the LeanderARW club was created! We officially became a TFRW club in February 2021 and NFRW club in March 2021. Our membership has grown rapidly and continues to grow today. We are proud to be a hard-working group of Republican women and men committed to leading in Leander and surrounding areas. LeanderARW Executive team, Committee Chairs, Members, and Associate Members are dedicated to serving our community and promoting Republican values.

Our Objectives...

  • To work for the election of the Republican Party's nominees
  • To promote an informed electorate through political education
  • To increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through active political participation
  • To facilitate cooperation among local Republican Women's clubs
  • To foster loyalty to the Republican Party, and promote its principles and candidates in all elections, including non-partisan elections
