Around Mt. Hood Republican Women

Mt. Hood Republican Women, (MHRW) received its charter in 1979 under the leadership of Nita Clifton.  As a subsidiary of the National Federation of Republican Women and the Oregon Federation of Republican Women, each MHRW member in good standing is also a member of those two clubs. MHRW was organized to give women on the east side of the Willamette River a place to come together with like-minded community members to meet socially, outside of the legislature and formal political events. The mission of MHRW is to promote the principles, objectives, and policies of the Republican Party by investing in our communities through programs supporting our values and to recruit and elect Republicans to public office. MHRW is committed to encouraging Republican women to be involved in our local, state, and our national government. 
 

Oregon Federation Of Republican Women

On May 28, 1940, Marion Martin, Executive Director of the National Federation of Republican Women, announced that the application of the Oregon Chapter of Pro America to become a member of the National Federation of Republican Women had been approved. Wilma Bishop was State President at that time. Oregon held dual membership in both national organizations (Pro America and the National Federation of Women's Republican Clubs) and maintained a state office in the old Oregon Building in Portland. 

In February of 1948, the Oregon Chapter of Pro America filed Supplemental Articles of Incorporation with the State of Oregon changing its name to the Republican Women's Federation of Oregon. In April of 1963, by vote of the governing body, the organization name was again changed to the current Oregon Federation of Republican Women (OFRW). Today the OFRW consists of four districts and sixteen clubs of civic minded and politically active Oregon women. ​

I AM A REPUBLICAN BECAUSE.......

 

• I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability, and responsibility must be honored. 
• I believe in equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed sex, age, or disability. 
• I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth, and prosperity. 
• I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn. 
• I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government in that which governs least. 
• I believe the most effective, responsible, and responsive government is the government closest to the people. 
• I believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times. 
• I believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom, and human rights throughout the world.

• I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideas into positive and successful principles of government.
