Diane Black

“When I think of the hard work of my friends at NFRW, I remember that classic quote by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: ‘If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.’

“The ladies of the NFRW are known for putting in the time and energy needed to elect conservatives across the ticket, and having a good time doing it. I’m so thankful for the friendships I’ve formed at my local NFRW chapter and how the NFRW has stood with me in my campaigns. If you are considering becoming an NFRW member, I hope you won’t wait another day. They are making a real difference in our political landscape, and it is a joy to be a part of their efforts.”

“Since 1938, the National Federation of Republican Women has served to connect and to empower women in politics. Now one of the largest women’s political organizations in the Country, the NFRW is building on that history by promoting the growing number of Republican women running for office at the local, state and national levels. Two years ago, I ran for Congress, in part, because we need more women at the table, and because it’s time for more of our voices to be heard at the ballot box. I’m grateful for the NFRW’s support for my campaign for new ideas and real results for the 21st District in New York State, and am proud of the role it will continue to play in empowering and encouraging even more women to participate in our Democracy.”
