Endorsement Process

Federal candidates in states with chartered RLC affiliates (like Wisconsin) are considered by the state and national RLC board of directors. Candidates for state or local offices in Wisconsin are considered by our Wisconsin RLC board of directors.

All candidates seeking the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus are strongly encouraged to sign the Liberty Compact and fill out our state of Wisconsin candidate questionnaire. If you need a copy of either of these documents sent to you via email, you can contact us.

Value of RLC Endorsement

A RLC endorsement can be tremendously valuable to a candidate, especially in primary races. The RLC can provide endorsed candidates with a signed statement explaining why the candidate should be elected. This statement can be distributed as a flyer or displayed prominently at the candidate’s website. It can also be sent out to the media.

In a primary in particular, the endorsement can ensure Republicans that the most worthy Republican candidate is the candidate who has embraced traditional Republican principles — the candidate endorsed by the RLC.

For the many voters who share our values — and we believe that most Republicans hold liberty and small government close to their hearts — the RLC is a brand name which stands for the core values of the GOP and having the endorsement of the RLC immediately lets voters know that a candidate is one of the best which our party has to offer.
