REPUBLICAN WOMEN
WHO WE ARE
WE'RE YOU, if you believe in the Constitution and limited government.
Women come to the Republican Party from all walks of life and all backgrounds.
Some of us grew up in the Flathead Valley, some of us are from other parts of Montana, and more than a few of us moved to the area from out of state.
​
Some of us have been Republicans all our lives and some of us have been Republicans for about five minutes! That is, a lot of us found our way to the Republican Party through our own personal, political journey and civic evolution.
​
All of us believe in the Constitution and that government of the people, by the people and for the people must, by necessity, have limited powers in order to safeguard our freedoms.
As President Ronald Reagan said in his farewell to the Nation, "I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts."

DECEMBER MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
We're proud of the FCRW community and like to shine a light on some of our members, past and present.
New spotlights added each month.
Heidi Roedel
"Our Local Patriot"
Heidi first became involved in politics in 2004 while her husband was deployed to Iraq. She and her two daughters were invited to a FCRW monthly meeting: the club members warmly welcomed her, and she began to attend on a regular basis. After a time, Heidi was asked to be on the club’s executive board. When the district director for our area moved out-of-state, she was asked to fill in the vacancy at the state level. She remained on the executive board of the Montana Federation of Republican Women for several years, and subsequently was elected president of the Montana Federation of Republican Women, serving in that role for two, 2-year terms. In 2020, Heidi was elected president of her local club and served one 2-year term. Heidi has attended several National Federation of Republican Women conventions and board meetings, and served on different national committees.
Having a desire to make a difference in her community, Heidi remains active in the FCRW, as a Flathead precinct person, and handles communications for the Montana Federation of Republican Women.
