About the FFRW

The Florida Federation of Republican Women (FFRW) is a statewide organization dedicated to providing structure and support for women who champion conservative values, influence public policy, develop candidates, and help elect Republican leaders across the great, free state of Florida. Our mission is to educate, equip, empower, and expand the impact of women in politics.
FFRW is a member of the largest Republican women’s political organizations in the nation - the National Federation of Republican Women. We remain steadfast in the core principles of the Republican Party—government by the people and the belief that engaged citizens are essential to an effective democracy. As a hard-working grassroots organization, the FFRW influences policy at the local, state, and national levels.
The Federation actively supports Republican candidates while fostering strength, unity, and coordinated political action. We encourage Republican women to run for office and provide training to help them become effective leaders at every level of government and within the Republican Party.
With 50 FFRW clubs across the state, there is a place for every Republican woman in the Federation. Members stay informed and engaged through monthly newsletters, timely communications, and local and statewide meetings designed to broaden knowledge, strengthen unity, and increase political impact.
FFRW keeps its members active by offering year-round volunteer opportunities and encouraging participation in special assignments, committee leadership, and campaign projects that advance conservative values and strengthen our party organization.
