National Federation of Republican Women
Applauds McCain’s Historic Selection of Palin
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Shirley Sadler, president
of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), issued
the following statement today:
“The National Federation of Republican
Women couldn’t be more pleased with U.S. Sen. John McCain’s
selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate in
the 2008 presidential election. This is an incredible
milestone for the Republican Party, for the nation, and for
women everywhere. Gov. Palin is a tough executive with a solid
record of fighting corruption in government. Her bold
leadership in Alaska proves that she won’t be afraid to shake
up the status quo in Washington and that she would be ready and more
than able to serve as our nation’s president. Congratulations,
Gov. Palin! Republican women are excited about this historic
moment and are eager to support the McCain-Palin ticket this
fall.”
Founded in 1938, the NFRW has thousands of
active members in local clubs across the nation and in several
U.S. territories, making it one of the largest women’s political
organizations in the country. The grassroots organization
recruits and elects Republican candidates, advocates the Party’s
philosophy and initiatives, and empowers women in the political
process.
