Report Your Political Activity Hours

Why Report Your Volunteer Hours?

Tracking and Reporting volunteer hours measure the influence of Republican Women in the political process. Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) and each club deserve recognition for the tremendous contributions they make toward getting Republicans elected! This measure is demonstrated in the enormous number of hours our members volunteer.
