The Vanderburgh County Federation of Republican Women (VCFRW) exists to encourage women’s participation in the governing of our nation, to elect Republicans to office at all levels, and to promote public awareness of the issues that shape America.
The VCFRW has long been an active group within Vanderburgh County politics by maintaining active membership and regular meetings, including a popular annual chili supper which raises money for the local party and local candidates. Any woman who believes in the principles of the Republican Party, interested in supporting its candidates for public office and calls herself a Republican is eligible for membership in the VCFRW.

The 2nd Amendment Patriots is a grassroots gun rights activist group that started in January of 1999. It’s an informal organization of local residents and family members who are dedicated to preserving the rights, freedoms, and civil liberties of every American by educating the American public of the founding and history of this country and its founding fathers by explaining the role, functions and purpose of the U.S. Government.
Especially active politically, over the years this group has been influential in changing state gun laws in Indiana, repealing a gun law and introducing pro gun legislation. Some of its members have also run for office both on the local and state level. The NRA/ILA awarded the 2nd Amendment Patriots with the Grassroots Organization of the Year 2000.
The group meets at 6 PM at the West Side Sportsman’s Club on the last Saturday of every month. Click here for more information about the 2nd Amendment Patriots and ways to get involved.
Women R.O.C. (Right of Center) is a group of like minded women that aims to promote these principles and become more knowledgeable of local, state and federal government. Their vision is that all women in Evansville will join this group to gather information to educate themselves in politics, motherhood, community involvement and self betterment.
