About the Kansas Republican Assembly

Comprised of traditional Republicans, the Kansas Republican Assembly is a statewide organization of your friends and neighbors working within the Republican Party to build a powerful, enduring coalition of economic and social conservatives. KRA is a completely volunteer organization from top to bottom...every accomplishment of KRA has been carried out by volunteers.

Our Mission

Across America, a battle is being waged for the heart and soul of the Republican Party.  Some seek to lead us away from the solid conservative economic and social principles championed by Ronald Reagan.  We are determined to prevent that from happening.

Our Role

The KRA unites conservatives, both economic and social whose interests range from tax cuts, small business, and land use issues, to pro-life and pro-family concerns to advance traditional Republican values in Kansas.  As a statewide organization, KRA will work to coordinate the efforts of existing organizations and empower them to make a difference within the Republican Party, much like the diverse coalition that led Ronald Reagan to two landslide victories.

Our Objectives

Across America, a battle is being waged for the heart and soul of the Republican Party. Some seek to lead us away from the solid conservative economic and social principles championed by Ronald Reagan. We are determined to prevent that from happening. Comprised of traditional Republicans, the Kansas Republican Assembly is a statewide organization of your friends and neighbors working within the Republican Party to build a powerful, enduring coalition of economic and social conservatives. Our objectives include:

  • Recruit, educate, train, and motivate individuals to run for public office who are irrevocably committed to uphold and fight for conservative values.
  • Promote conservatism in the tradition of the founding fathers.
  • Bring back to the Republican Party those who have been disaffected by the perception that the party has moved away from its core principles.
  • Support elected officials in promoting conservative Republican principles.
  • Identify and oppose those individuals, groups, and agendas that would, knowingly or otherwise, bring about the loss of our freedoms and the destruction of our republic through the violation of the Constitution and the erosion of traditional family values or public morals.
  • Inform the public on current issues and the qualifications of candidates for office.
  • Increase Republican voter registration and increase conservative Republican turnout in elections.
  • Maintain the integrity of the Republican Party platform based on moral and constitutional principles and use the platform as a criterion of accountability for elected officials and candidates.
Our Success

KRA has raised hundreds of thousand of dollars to support conservative candidates for offices ranging from the precinct to the presidency.  

KRA has hosted a major national convention of conservative Republicans, organized six visits by presidential candidates to Kansas, and brought in conservative leaders like Congressman Bob Barr, Phyllis Schlafly, Gary Aldrich and Attorney General John Ashcroft.  We strive to provide opportunities for grassroots Republicans to meet their leaders and get involved in their party.

KRA was a major force in determining the outcome of many local and statewide races in 2004 and 2008, including working at the grassroots level to gain conservative leadership in the Republican Party and electing two conservative Republican National Committee members a conservative State Party Chairman.
