 National Federation of Republican Women Elects
Wisconsin Republican Leader Next President

Delegates Deliver Unanimous Vote During Convention
 

ORLANDO, Fla. – Delegates to the 35th biennial convention of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) unanimously elected Wisconsin Republican leader Sue Lynch to head the organization during 2010 and 2011. The election was held Sept. 12 in Orlando, Fla.

Lynch, who currently serves as first vice president of the organization, will assume the presidency Jan. 1, 2010.

“This is an exciting time for our organization,” Lynch said. “As president, my number one goal will be to lead the Federation in helping the Republican Party take back the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. I will also work to increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government, to foster loyalty to the Republican Party at all levels, to help train and elect more Republican women to political office, and to grow the Federation’s membership.”

A resident of Onalaska, Lynch has been elected to multiple positions on the NFRW executive committee since 2002 and served as president of the Wisconsin Federation of Republican Women from 1997 to 2001. She is a former chief of staff and office manager to three members of Congress, has been active in Republican politics for more than 30 years and has served on several gubernatorial and presidential campaigns. For 12 years, she worked for the Free Congress Foundation teaching campaign schools and doing field work for campaigns. In 1992, she lectured on the U.S. legislative branch for the Krieble Institute throughout the Soviet Union.

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.
