The Riley County Republican Assembly is a Reagan-Bush Wing of the Republican Party. The Kansas Republican Assembly 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. The County and State organizations work to coordinate the efforts of existing organization and empower them to make a difference within the Republican Party, much like the diverse coalition that led Ronald Reagan to two victories.
