The Irish-American Republicans are a national organization dedicated to promoting the principles of the Republican Party, building Republican support among the 45 million strong Irish American community, and supporting the cause of justice and peace in Ireland.

Our Honorary Chairmen are Governor George Pataki (NY) and United States Senator John McCain (AZ), and our Honorary Co-Chairs include Sen. Sam Brownback (KS), Rep Jim Walsh (NY), Rep. John Sweeney (NY), Rep Tom Feeney (FL) Rep Peter King (NY), and Lt Governor Kerry Healey (MA). Our board is comprised of Irish-American leaders from across the business, political, media and legal communities.

The Irish American Republicans have been instrumental in electing Republicans to elected office who share our ideals, who support the Peace Process in Ireland and the interests of the Irish-American Community, and who have a real desire to win.

We are proud to have founded the campaign political groups, "Irish For Bush/ Cheney" in '00 and '04, and "Irish For Pataki/ Donohue" in '98 and '02.

The Irish American Republicans played the critical role as leaders of President Bush's 2000 Florida Recount Team. Our Board was entrusted with running the GOP floor effort during the crucial Miami Recount, and lead the misnamed "Brooks Brothers Riot" that ended the Gore campaign's efforts to count selected ballots in secret, away from the media.

In 2004, President Bush deployed the Irish American Republicans to the key battleground state of Ohio, where our Board was entrusted with exposing and stopping Democrat voter fraud, and managing the critical Cleveland-area campaign.

The Irish American Republicans are a national coalition of independent state chapters. We welcome you to join us, and become a part of what Sean Hannity called "the Republican Party's Delta Force."
