Local Republicans is a collaboration of like-minded, ordinary American people who want our families, communities, states and nation to flourish in safety, peace and prosperity.  We are moderate, independent and conservative patriots.  We believe in our Declaration of Independence, our U.S. Constitution, and the God-given unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. We are mobilizing to create a movement bringing civility back to our political discourse and freedom back to American citizens.

Local Republicans is a team of like minded citizens that are joining together to help ensure the American way of life.

We are you a Braver Angels.

As individuals, we try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it.

In our communities, we engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.

In politics, we support principles that bring us together rather than divide us.

We believe that every Minnesotan wants life and liberty so that they can pursue happiness.  Each political party works to advance our communities but from different perspectives.
