NFRW President Calls for Unity in
Republican Convention Speech
'Women support Trump! Women ... will
unify the party.'
CLEVELAND - Carrie Almond, president of the National Federation of
Republican Women (NFRW), called for unity in the Republican Party and encouraged
everyone to "get on board" during her speech to the Republican National
Convention at Quicken Loans Arena this afternoon.
"From Nebraska to New Hampshire ... across Ohio, Wisconsin, and Louisiana,
here's what I'm hearing. Hillary Clinton does not speak for all women," Almond
said. "She doesn't speak for the women in Kennebunk, Maine, who told me, "Get
out there and tell everyone: Women support Donald Trump!"
Almond told the convention about the NFRW's nationwide "Destination: White
House" campaign bus tour, which has traveled more than 11,000 miles to 23 states
since May in an effort to register women to vote and to rally women behind our
Republican nominee.
"This year, we're so committed to putting a Republican in the White House
that for the past two months, I've traveled the country in a red, white and blue
RV, named Rosie after my grandmother," Almond said. "... We're not resting until
Election Day. ... Women, after all, are the ones who unify the family. And we
will unify the party!"
The NFRW's video featuring Republican women leaders and Federation members
was also shown during Almond's speech. A full transcript of the speech is
available at www.nfrw.org/news-articles-20160718.
Founded in 1938, the NFRW has thousands of active members in local clubs
across the nation, making it one of the largest women's political organizations
in the country. The 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.
