8. Build Coalitions: 

​

• Advocate effectively for Republican principles at every level of government. 

• Proactively seek partnerships with churches, veteran groups, 2nd amendment groups, education advocacy groups, and other conservative minded organizations to advocate for Republican causes and candidates.
