As a dynamic and increasingly influential group in one of America's most historic cities, the Petersburg Republican Party is one of the fastest growing organizations in our community. While greatly outnumbered in our city (where we average only 20% of the vote in statewide elections), Petersburg Republicans are building vital and strong bridges with federal and state leaders who are shaping the future of the Tri-Cities.

Why you should join the Petersburg Republicans:

Tradition:
In its 150-year history, the Grand Old Party has a consistent record of progressiveness and vision.

Bedrock Republican principles that have never changed:
The Republican Party has been the party for the defense and promotion of civil rights in America and individual empowerment based on equal opportunity and personal responsibility with a strong belief in the free market system, faith in entrepreneurship and personal economic growth. The GOP has been fighting bloated and wasteful government spending and high-taxes and keeping America strong in a troubled world.

Leadership:
Though our city’s Republicans win only a modest share of votes locally, we are an important part of Virginia’s Republican team, which leads our Commonwealth and Nation forward.

State GOP leaders that are friends of Petersburg:
U.S. Senator John Warner
Congressman Randy Forbes
Lt. Governor Bill Bolling
Attorney General Bob McDonnell
Speaker of the House Bill Howell
State Senator Steve Martin
Delegate Kirk Cox
Delegate Riley Ingram

Through these leaders, our unit has a full voice and vote in the shaping of national and statewide issues that matter to Petersburg. In our city, we unite with independents and progressive Democrats to support reform in and revitalization of Petersburg!

We are a party in action.

When election time comes, our unit rolls up its sleeves and gets to work by:
-Canvassing wards
-Distributing lawn signs and literature
-Supporting our candidates through letters to the editor and media outreach
-Getting out the vote and poll watching

Remember – in elections from delegate to governor to president, one Petersburg vote equals any other vote in Virginia!

Fellowship:
Petersburg’s Republicans are a dynamic and fun unit. From our annual Purple Bridges Dinner (April) to Victory Parties on election night and attending inaugural galas in Richmond, as friends and neighbors we are ready to work for our principles and candidates, and celebrate our achievements.
