What we stand for
Principles
These are the national party's principles, as they appear on the committee's current site. They are not the committee's own words.

The national Republican Party's Principles for American Renewal. Published by the national party — not the committee’s own words.
Constitution
Our Constitution should be preserved, valued and honored.
Economy
We need to start growing America's economy instead of Washington's economy so that hard-working Americans see better wages and more opportunity.
Budget
We need to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, make government more efficient, and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt.
Healthcare
We need to start over with real healthcare reform that puts patients and their doctors in charge, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington.
Veterans
Our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude, and no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor.
Security
Keeping America safe and strong requires a strong military, growing the economy, energy independence, and secure borders.
Education
Every child should have an equal opportunity to get a great education; no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school.
Energy
We should make America energy independent by encouraging investment in domestic energy, lowering prices, and creating jobs at home.
Immigration
We need an immigration system that secures our borders, upholds the law, and boosts our economy.
Poverty
The best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job, so our focus should be on getting people out of poverty by lifting up all people and helping them find work.
Values
Our country should value the traditions of family, life, religious liberty, and hard work.
Our history
The county has been organising itself in public for a long time
Winter, 1937
A road somewhere in the county in December 1937, with a load of hay coming up it. Arthur Rothstein was here photographing hill farms for the Farm Security Administration.

A barn near Pulaski
William Wallace's farm, the same December. Gambrel roof, stave silo, snow to the doorstep — the shape of a dairy county.

The fair grounds, 1877
The Oswego Town Agricultural & Horticultural Fair Grounds, drawn for the county history. The same towns, and the same work of getting neighbours together.

In practice
The most concrete thing we can show you is who we're actually running.
