A Message from Our Chairman:

The Mercer County Republican Party is dedicated to  electing qualified conservative Republican candidates to local, county, state, and federal offices.


We are responsible for recruiting candidates for office, organizing and leading campaigns, and promoting our ideals, principles, and core beliefs which include smaller government, less regulation, and personal responsibility.

 

I encourage you to take the time to get to know our elected officials and candidates.

 

Scroll down to meet our executive team. They are hardworking, experienced, and dedicated volunteers who are working every day to promote our values. 


Please don’t hesitate to contact me at 724-662-4060 if you would like to get involved. You may also sign up here to volunteer and join our mailing list. 


God Bless America!
