Upholding the Principles of Freedom, Equality, and Justice

Welcome to the benzie county republican party!

Our organization is committed to electing Republicans at the local, state, and national level as we strive to support the principles of freedom, equality, and justice - principles on which the Republican party and this great nation were founded.


We work to promote individual rights including life, liberty, and private property, which are best preserved when government is limited, focused, and based on just laws.


If you are interested in supporting our mission, you can help by volunteering or donating.

Fellow Benzie County Republicans, 


It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that I write this special statement. As we are all aware, Charlie Kirk was assassinated 9.10.25 while simply speaking on a college campus in Utah. Charlie was a true patriot who devoted his life to open debate, liberty, democracy, justice and the American people. He inspired millions, particularly our youth with his courage, logic, humor and grace, championing ideas that brought young people into the political process and spread a love for our great country and its ideals.


Charlie once said, “If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas, not run away from them or try to silence them.” He lived by his words. He also warned “when people stop talking, that’s when violence happens.” It is critical that we engage in respectful dialogue to prevent such tragedies. We can discuss ad nauseum the cause(s) of our current divide among our citizens. As Lincoln warned us, we will not be conquered from attacks outside our nation, but rather, we will become a house divided and collapse from within.


This is a dark moment for America, where violence and murder now stem from the tragic consequences of demonizing those with whom we disagree. Our nation was founded on the principle that we all grow from discussions in the public square. The radical rhetoric that compares wonderful Americans like Charlie to the world’s worst criminals must stop.  Charlie’s life should serve as our calling to commit ourselves to the American ideals of free and fair elections, free speech, citizenship, the rule of law, patriotic devotion, and love of God.


May God bless Charlie’s memory, watch over his family, and bless our county, state and the United States of America.

"Huge decision out of Michigan today. Judge Simmons dismissed the criminal action against the 2020 Trump electors, holding that the evidence did not even support probable cause of the alleged crime to defraud. Also, that the electors were exercising const'l right to petition govt!"
