Republican Women of Dane County
Welcome to the RWDC. We are the Republican Women of Dane County (RWDC). In Dane County and in Wisconsin we work to promote the principles, objectives, and policies of the Republican Party; help to elect Republican candidates; inform the public through political education and activity; and, increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.
The RWDC typically meets once per non-summer month at Blackhawk Country Club in Shorewood Hills. 11:30 am social, 12:00 pm luncheon/meeting. Luncheon costs generally $16 each, unless otherwise noted.

“Nothing is more certain than that a general profligacy and corruption of manners make a people ripe for destruction. A good form of government may hold the rotten materials together for some time, but beyond a certain pitch, even the best constitution will be ineffectual, and slavery must ensue.” —John Witherspoon (1776)

The President's CornerWomen for Trump, Women for Ron Johnson, Women for ALL candidates. We know that women have the power and knowledge to help any and all campaigns. The recent polls show that Donald Trump and Ron Johnson are within 3 points of winning Wisconsin. With a little extra help, we can turn those polls into the positive column. Wisconsin hasn’t elected a Republican president since Ronald Reagan. I am so excited that 2016 may be the year we do can that again! Wisconsin is a purple state, let’s make it red! At our luncheon Oct. 21st, wear red to the luncheon, even a red hat if you have one. Let’s let everyone know our commitment to make Wisconsin red.
Catch the excitement, Nancy Nancy Bartlett [email protected] 608- 845-6609. We welcome your suggestions to become even better this year and your input of time and talents to make us more effective. Please let us know your ideas for speakers and/or how you would like to become more involved in our organization. Contact President Nancy Bartlett at 845-6609 or by email at [email protected]. We encourage you to bring guests to our meetings - and invite them to join! Our Club is one of the largest in the state and is a grassroots organization with some of the most politically active women in the County. We help strengthen the Republican Party, help elect candidates that advocate our philosophy, and empower women through education become part of the political process. For the past several years, RWDC has achieved the proud distinction of winning prestigious achievement awards. In 2015 we earned the DIAMOND award from the National Federation, the only club in Wisconsin! This was based on membership involvement, informative speakers at our events, our community service and projects, and our political involvement. We supported our troops, donated to Disabled Veterans in Wisconsin, the Fisher House, and the Salvation Army. Our members participated in Legislative Day at the State Capitol, caucuses and conventions, worked at the polls, assisted with mailings, helped on campaigns, donated books to area libraries, and learned about local issues from city, county and state elected officials. Plus, we have fun at our events! We volunteer at the Executive Residence in projects for our First Lady, Tonette Walker – the only club in the state with this special project! We also have associate memberships available for spouses and other family members, friends and neighbors, coworkers and companies who support our programs. The cost is only $10.
