About Us
NHC Republican Party Beliefs
Individual Freedom
Government exists to protect the freedom of each individual, not to restrict it.
God given rights
Every person has inherent ability and dignity bestowed by God and is responsible to steward his/her time, talent, and treasure.
Right to Life
All life is sacred and must be protected, especially the defenseless innocent and unborn. Life is a God Given right granted to us all and is incumbent upon us to defend it.
Second Amendment
Our right and freedom to bear arms gives us the ability to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
Free enterprise
The free enterprise system and the encouragement of individual initiative and incentives are musts for a strong economy and nation.
Help the Needy
Both government and society should assist those who cannot provide for themselves and should help them become self-supporting, productive citizens with pride in their independence.
Sound Foreign Policy
World peace and friendship will continue through strength.
Constitutionalist
The preservation of our nation and the security of our citizens depend on every citizen’s respect for the Constitution, the laws, and the courts.
Equal Opportunity
Equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity belong to all, regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, or sex.
Fiscal Responsibility
Government must maintain sound money and a responsible economy. The rights of life and liberty are meaningless if citizens are deprived of their property through excessive taxation, inflation, and government waste.
