National Federation of Republican Women

Endorsement Policy

The NFRW has established a policy for endorsements during election cycles. It is recognized
that members of our organization are politically active and should be engaged in the support of
Republican candidates. It is further recognized that building quality relationships with our
elected officials are critical to our mission. The NFRW has adopted a policy to specifically
address endorsements of candidates.

 The president and campaign activities chair of NFRW, any state federation or local club
shall not publicly endorse any candidate for public office in any primary, runoff, special
or non‐partisan race where two or more known Republicans are in the race. No

endorsement or evidence of support by any member shall be issued using the NFRW
affiliation, logo, or stationery without the approval of NFRW.

 An officer of the organization who is a candidate or whose spouse or family member is a

candidate shall be exempt from this rule, however, they may not do so in the name of
the organization or by utilizing the logo or stationery of the NFRW, the state federation,
or the local club.

 NFRW Bylaws provide for removal of membership for any member, state federation, or
local club that advocates a split party ticket or supports a candidate who is running on
an opposition ticket.

The above is the minimum endorsement policy required by NFRW. State federations and clubs
may, in their bylaws, adopt stricter endorsement limitations.
