The Republican Committee
of Pittsburgh, Council District 2

Welcome, to the Republican Committee of Pittsburgh

On February 22, 1856, the first organizational convention for the Republican Party was held in the Lafayette Hall (on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Wood Street) in downtown Pittsburgh. In those days, groups of different political factions including the Whigs, Free-Soilers, and Abolitionists banded together for political strength. From that time, with a common cause and shared ideals, the Grand Old Party has grown and flourished since then.

Pittsburgh is currently experiencing a profound dempgraphic shift, one that the Republican Party seeks to embrace. We seek to serve the future citizens of this city, even as we honor it's past. A political party is an expression of community, an instument with which to propogate the ideals and values we hold to be important, into the halls of government and the laws promulgated therein.
