Our Mission, History & Purpose

Mesa Republican Women (MRW) was established in 1974.  

We are affiliated with the Arizona Federation of Republican Women (AzFRW) and the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW).

Speakers at our monthly meetings include elected officials, experts on various topics of interest and concern, and candidates during election years.  

For many years, MRW has earned the top awards from both the Arizona Federation of Republican Women,

  Turquoise Award, and the National Federation of Republican Women, Diamond Award.

Our mission is to educate and inform our local Republican electorate, to unite and encourage women to support and work for our Republican principles, to promote and defend the ideals of America, especially our Constitution, to work for and support good Republican candidates and their campaigns on the local, state and federal levels and to strengthen women in their role of promoting good government.
