End-of-Year Tribute to the Extraordinary Women of RWOP
As we bring another year to a close, my heart is full as I reflect on the remarkable women whose leadership, dedication, and deeply held values make RWOP such a truly special organization. And before anything else, I want to pause and offer heartfelt thanks for the love of God—His direction, His grace, and His abundant mercy that have carried us, covered us, and steadied our steps throughout this entire year. His faithfulness has been our anchor.
People often ask what sets RWOP apart. Is it our shared conservative principles? Our
sponsorship of Honor Flights for deserving veterans? Our scholarships for bright, articulate young Republicans? Or perhaps the continuous stream of exceptional speakers—judges, legislators, county and city leaders—who keep us informed, engaged, and ahead of the curve?
All of these things matter.
But the true strength of RWOP is something deeper… something lived, not spoken.
This year marks roughly 83 years of RWOP leadership, and during that time our nation
has experienced profound shifts—changes in education, border enforcement, trade, media accountability, federal funding priorities, and the political posture of the opposing party. Whether on campus, at the border, or around international tables, these changes
have touched every corner of our country.
But leadership isn’t defined only by policy.
Leadership is heart. Leadership is unity. Leadership is commitment.
We often ask: Is it better to be feared or loved?
Well—our Democrat lawmakers should fear us at the ballot box. This coming year in
Arizona will be a fight as we work to unseat incumbents and reclaim the governorship,
attorney general, and the newly created lieutenant governor seats.
But our Republican candidates deserve our love—our time, our talent, and our support. And once the primaries are behind us, we must stand shoulder to shoulder with our Republican nominees. Division is a luxury we cannot afford. We are stronger together.
As we look toward the year ahead, I want to lift-up and celebrate the extraordinary
women of RWOP—women who lead with integrity, clarity, compassion, and unwavering
purpose. You remind us every day that leadership is not just about achieving results but
about raising others as you rise. Your resilience, teamwork, and vision are the reason
this organization continues to thrive.
From where I stand, it is all of the above…
…but at the heart of everything we do are our busy, hard-working, and deeply committed volunteers.
When I look at the heart and commitment of our RWOP leadership, I am genuinely moved. At the center of our organization beats the hearts of volunteer patriots—women who show up not for applause, but out of love for their country, devotion to principle, and a desire to serve something greater than themselves. RWOP thrives because of the generous, steady, faithful hearts of our volunteers.
In many ways, their perseverance reflects the same determination that Donald J. Trump
has shown on the national stage. Just as he has faced adversity with remarkable resolve, RWOP’s leadership continues to rise to every challenge with resilience and an unshakable belief in the values they serve. Their steadiness, like his, is rooted in deep conviction—and in a genuine love of Republican values, our country, and our freedom.
RWOP’s leaders show, day after day, what it means to lead with courage and heart. They carry responsibilities big and small, navigate challenges both seen and unseen, and do it all with grace, clarity, and unwavering determination. There is a quiet fierceness in the way they work—organizing, guiding, encouraging, and lifting up our membership with devotion that never wavers.
What stands out most—and what I admire so deeply—is the heart behind their service.
The willingness to keep going when it’s hard.
The focus to stay steady when politics are noisy and ugly.
The courage to lead when the path climbs steeply.
RWOP’s leaders embody that kind of strength beautifully, faithfully, and gracefully.
And of course, none of this work happens in isolation.
Our strength as leaders exists because of you—our membership.
You keep us sharp.
You keep us striving.
You challenge us, support us, and inspire us to bring our best every single day.
Your engagement, your expectations, and your unwavering presence push us to rise to
every moment.
Most of all, thank you for entrusting us with your confidence.
That trust is the greatest honor we hold. It fuels our dedication, strengthens our unity, and reminds us why RWOP continues to flourish year after year.
The heart of RWOP is its people—leaders and members alike—bound together by shared values, shared purpose, and a shared belief that together we can face any challenge. That, more than anything, is what makes this organization extraordinary.
Now it’s time to enjoy our December luncheon—a joyful mix of good food, good fun, and
a little well-deserved retail therapy. No business— just fellowship, gratitude, and
celebration of our remarkable membership.
Doors open at 9 AM.
See you then!
With heartfelt gratitude, steadfast faith, and hope for all that lies ahead.
