Chairman’s Message

Throughout recent history, the legacies of our party and our community have stood together.

When prosperity, jobs and opportunity have risen, Allen County Republicans have delivered them. Taxes have stayed low and small government has been a constant, with Allen County Republicans at the helm in most corners of Fort Wayne and Allen County government.

When government has set out to innovate, trying to do more with fewer of your hard-earned tax dollars, Allen County Republicans have been the ones who imagined better ways to do the public’s business. The values of Allen County Republicans are clear: Conservative values, fiscal wisdom and knowing always that our elected leaders work for you.

Some only run for office to get elected. Allen County Republicans get elected to lead.

The road from Allen County GOP Headquarters has taken leaders far: To the Courthouse, the Statehouse, the United States Congress, and the Office of the Vice President. Why? Because our history of standing up for you, your values and your money is one the voters embrace. It’s what makes America work.

Thanks for your interest in the Allen County Republican Party. If you believe that leadership with purpose is what best suits a great community, you are in the right place.
