Pam Myhra Named MN Federation of Republican Women President
March 3, 2016– Marge Gruenes, President of the Minnesota Federation of Republican Women (MFRW), has announced her resignation due to her battle with cancer. Pam Myhra, MFRW First Vice President, will succeed Gruenes as president.
“Marge Gruenes has made an indelible mark on the conservative landscape here in Minnesota. Her conviction and drive to encourage, educate, and support conservative women from all age groups to be key players at the national, state, and local political table, is clearly evident. As a strong leader and mentor Marge has had a profound impact on many Republican women, including me,” said Myhra. Myhra continued, “I am honored to succeed Marge as president and ask you to join me in wishing her well as she battles her illness.”
