The America First Caucus has as its MISSION, growing and strengthening the local Republican Party to elect candidates that share our values to local, state and federal offices.

The America First Caucus-Virginia

Newsletter #2

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

The security and prosperity we enjoyed just four years ago is gone and America is now a failing nation under a Democrat administration. The upcoming election this November will be the most consequential in our nation's history and TAFC is committed to making every possible effort toward a Republican VICTORY in November.

In recent weeks, we made significant progress, despite continuing growing pains, with our mass outreach efforts. We are currently examining organizational options for the Caucus (e.g., LLC) necessary to support and enhance operations.

Importantly, we have continued our progress through Republican Party elections with key endorsements and wins and look forward to the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) Convention on May 31- Jun 1. 

Sadly, Virginia’s Republican Committees have never been able to get quality data to support their volunteer and member recruiting needs. Fortunately, TAFC has excellent statewide data and a Ph.D. Data Scientist leading our data support effort. We are now providing data to units across the Commonwealth.

We have 6.1M voter records and the ability to develop tailored data lists at the Congressional District, county/unit, magisterial district, and precinct level. We can further sort voters according to a variety of characteristics such as voting history, veteran status, and ethnic group.

We are asking affiliated units to designate a data coordinator to help configure and distribute local data sets. We will introduce the data and related products through online training sessions.

Join us on Sat, Apr 13th, 10 AM online at https://meet.goto.com/667521533

We recently initiated our first contact campaign (in Prince William County) using the Early Vote Action (EVA) digital application. The focus is to recruit new Committee members and volunteers from among dependable Republican voters. The application is very intuitive. We will offer training and coordination sessions online. The application includes call and text scripts to guide interaction and will have the capability to record voter response data for GOP Unit’s use.

We have initiated an America First Caucus Chapter within the Act for America Coalition to facilitate communications with legislators and officials. 

Join to help let Officials know where you stand. 

We have also launched our first related outreach campaign in opposition to some deeply flawed election integrity legislation currently before Governor Youngkin. The Caucus will be taking positions on legal and policy issues that affect our local communities and the Commonwealth, consistent with America First principles and values. 



We have begun Social Media outreach across several platforms including Facebook, X/Twitter, Truth Social, Instagram and YouTube and have set up Communication Channels on the “Signal” digital application to support enhanced secure information sharing.  



Since the beginning of the year TAFC has recruited, vetted, identified, and supported a number of candidates for Party office and we are especially heartened with the recent election of a strong cadre of America First GOP committee Chairs.

Our caucus affiliation continues to grow, and we now count 21 county/city jurisdictions and seven Congressional Districts. Below are TAFC endorsements for 2024 Party elections, along with one endorsement for public office:
