Get the lowdown on the legislative session from Senate Republican leader William Sharer!

Senator Sharer represents District 1, which includes Farmington in San Juan County, and has served the northwestern part of New Mexico since 2001. He is a small business owner and currently holds the position of Ranking Member on the Legislative Finance Committee. A staunch advocate for the oil and gas industry, the conservation of the state's water and timber resources, tax reform, and the Right to Life movement, Senator Sharer has also shown strong international support. In 2023, he co-sponsored a resolution in support of Ukraine, and in 2024, he co-sponsored a resolution backing Israel and condemning Hamas.​

What We Do
According to the National Federation of Republican Women, the Santa Fe Federate Republican Women is a Diamond level club. That means we check the majority of boxes on the NFRW Achievement matrix. In plain words, that means we've got a lot going on that you can get involved with.

Speaker-Luncheons
Our luncheons are a great place to meet like-minded women (and men Associate members.) They are also highly informative. You will meet State and local candidates. You can participate in debates with candidates for governor, senator, or Congress. In off years, you will get to know interesting thinkers on topics that matter to our community. Luncheons are usually the second Tuesday of the month, September to May, at 11:30 at the Santa Fe Country Club. See calendar and directions below.
In the Running
You might get to like some of these candidates so well that you'd be willing to make calls for them or knock on doors. Some of you might like to get trained as poll watchers or poll challengers. Some of you may be so inspired that you may run for office yourself. In 2022, one of our members ran for Congress. In 2023, another member ran for school board. The NFRW offers candidate training.
A Big Enent
Every year, we hold either a gala or what we call a picnic, which is a more casual event. The purpose of these events is to raise money for candidates we support. Our club even has its own PAC. These are exciting, fun events in which we reach out to the whole Republican community in Santa Fe and beyond.
Caring for America
As an FRW member, you can also get involved with our local community. Every year, we do something a little different. In 2023, we got involved with referendum project at Better Together New Mexico as well as the Desert Rose Women's Center. In 2024, we spear headed the Family Month Project, a call for a National Family Month, and achieved national recognition.
Spreading the Word
Every quarter, we send out a highly informative newsletter which includes links to important articles, state and nationwide, upcoming events for the club, and the county, membership events, a new member spotlight and so much more. Don't miss it - it is definitely worth the read!
Scholarship
Every year, we hold the Judith Nowers scholarship for high school seniors. This is basically an essay contest, in which students headed for college write a response to a question, often about the constitution, or how legislation can affect our lives. Currently, the award is $2000 for the lucky winner. The scholarship committee writes a question and grades the essay. In 2024, Francesco Aimale, a senior at St. Michael's, was our winner. Read his acceptance speech here.
