The National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) is holding its 40th biennial convention in Indiana this weekend. The Reporter was invited by Indiana Federation of Republican Women (IFRW) President Suzanne Heinzmann to cover the event, which brings GOP representatives from the across the nation to the Hoosier heartland.

Governor Eric Holcomb once told the Reporter, “Hamilton County has long been an engine to the state’s economy.” It is also an engine to the national Republican Party, as is evidenced by Hamilton County Federated Republican Women’s strong presence and heavy involvement in organizing and volunteering at this weekend’s national convention.
