Ohio Federation of Republican Women
Local Republican Women Attend OFRW Legislative Day 

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Darke County Republican Women’s Club member Lyn Bliss joined Republican women’s club leaders from across Ohio at the Statehouse recently for the Ohio Federation of Republican Women’s (OFRW) annual Legislative Day. The Legislative Day included a tour of the Statehouse, visits with numerous State Senators and Representatives, along with private conversations with members of the Senate and House leadership. 

Attendees had the opportunity to hear from a variety of speakers, including Ohio House Majority Whip Cheryl Grossman and Senate President Keith Faber. 

“The message from our Republican leadership was that Ohio is truly transforming into a job creation engine that is business friendly, more monies are going toward education, and Ohio has a balanced budget,” said Jean Turner, President of the OFRW. 

Darke County attendee, OFRW Vice President Lyn Bliss was also pleased with the activity throughout the day. “It was a very informative event and provided a chance to share ideas and goals with our legislators and other Republican women from around the state,” said Bliss. “Being presented with the gavel used by President Faber for that day’s session was just an added treat!” 

The OFRW was formed in 1929 by Mrs. Hugh Clark of Steubenville, Ohio. The organization’s goal is to educate women about the Republican Party and to encourage women to be active in the party. This grassroots organization works to promote the principles and objectives of the Republican Party, elect Republican candidates, inform the public through political education and activity, and increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government. 

The OFRW currently has a statewide membership of thousands of women across Ohio and is a member of the National Federation of Republican Women, one of the largest political organizations in the U.S.
