According to the RGA’s own website, its mission includes the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- To assist in the election of Republican gubernatorial candidates and the reelection of incumbent Republican Governors.<\/em><\/li>\n

- To enable Republican Governors to express, develop and promote the philosophy of the Republican party at the state and local levels nationwide.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
