The Goshen County Republican Party exists to provide citizens the opportunity to be involved with selecting and electing candidates who will represent them in various political and community offices and jobs. The Party Platforms express the general viewpoint of those who are a part of the Republican Party and they are one way in which we find common ground on issues.
The Party meets every other year to discuss and refine those positions on the issues, and meets regularly during those years to conduct party business and address current issues of importance to our party through the use of Resolutions. The true grass roots of the Party are the people involved at the County level. From Precinct committeemen and women on down to those citizens attending our Caucus and County Convention. This is where we make a difference! We invite you to come join us, to work with us, to ensure the vision of our Founding Fathers is carried on through our Constitutional Government. We accomplish this by finding, electing and supporting people who will adhere to our Platforms positions. With your help America can continue to be the greatest nation on earth!
