Franklin County (TN) Republican Women
Who We Are

We are the Life of the Party!

Republican women were organized into chapters across the United States even before women were allowed the right to vote!


The Republican Platform of 1872 stated: "The Republican Party is mindful of its obligation to the loyal women of America for their noble devotion to the cause of Freedom ...," and the first Republican Women's chapter formed in Salt Lake City just a few years later.

By 1935, there were hundreds of Republican Women's clubs across the country, with 140 in the State of Indiana alone!

In 1938, the Republican National Committee, meeting at Chicago's elegant Palmer House, established the National Federation of Republican Women's Clubs.

Republican Women worked in every state across the union to ratify the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.

Republican Women have tackled issues of great concern throughout the years, from national debt to national defense.

In any given election, Republican Women are on the front lines recruiting strong candidates, registering voters, making phone calls, sending out mailers, organizing rallies, campaigning door-to-door, and raising funds.

In non-election seasons, Republican Women throughout the country coordinate charity drives, outreach projects and other civic contributions.

Franklin County Republican Women...

...share in a great legacy!  We are the only Republican Women's organization in Franklin County affiliated with the National Federation that was founded in 1938. 

We are also the only Republican Women's organization in Franklin County affiliated with the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women that was founded in 1955.

Our local chapter is the Republican Women's club founded in 1992 with a proven record for helping Republicans get elected to office and upholding the values and integrity of the Republican Party.

Franklin County Republican Women is one of Tennessee's largest and most active chapters.  Our members are unashamedly conservative and passionate believers in the founding principles of the United States Constitution.

Join us!  We meet on the third Tuesday of each month for lunch and discussion.  Check our home page on this website for details on the next meeting and any other upcoming opportunities.
