The former Hewlett-Packard executive announced the decision on Facebook Wednesday after finishing seventh in New Hampshire's primary.

Rand Paul dropping out of presidential race

2/3/2016

(CNN)Rand Paul, the libertarian-minded freshman senator who was once viewed as a formidable presidential contender, is suspending his White House bid.
Paul discussed the matter with staff Wednesday morning and sent out a statement confirming the decision to drop out of the Republican presidential primary.
"It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House," Paul said in the statement. "Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to fight for the cause of Liberty."

Washington (CNN)Scott Walker announced Monday he is dropping out of the GOP presidential race.
The Wisconsin governor entered the primary in July as a front-runner in Iowa and a darling of both the conservative base and powerful donors after winning battles against public unions in his left-leaning home state. But that promising start was quickly dashed after poor debate performances dried up support from donors.

"Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive, conservative message can rise to the top of the field. With this in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately," Walker said at a news conference in Madison, Wisconsin.

He encouraged other trailing Republican candidates to follow his path.

Last month, the GOP introduced the Republican Leadership Initiative (RLI), a brand new program to recruit, train, and empower volunteers. The response has been nothing short of extraordinary.

We have been flooded with thousands of applications from people who are ready to lead us to victory in 2016. And, our inaugural classes are already underway, with hundreds of volunteers earning the distinction of calling themselves RLI “Fellows.”

Take a look at what our Fellows have been up to for the past month below, and follow #LeadRight2016 for the latest... Continue Reading »

Women in the GOP Spotlight - Debby Barrett

7/7/2015

Women have played a key role in the Republican Party since its establishment in 1854.

The Republican Party and Republican women were the primary force behind the women's suffrage movement and the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Republican women have made history as the first women to serve in key positions, including Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress.

Republican women such as Debby Barrett (pictured) continue to explore uncharted territory on behalf of all women. Barrett is the first woman to serve as president of the Montana State Senate. Read more about Barrett
