Welcome to the NRCC!
The Newton Republican City Committee is the official city-level organization of the Republican Party. We support local, state-wide, and national candidates for elected office, and provide a forum for issue discussion, volunteer work, and campaign coordination.
A Really Big Tent.
Republicans are independent thinkers. Our members stretch the gamut from true “right-wingers” who are proud to stand on solid principles and don’t believe in any give to more “centrists” who believe in principles but also believe in working together with the Opposition Party when it’s appropriate. Debates are lively, but always civil.

Newton is divided into 8 wards, with most roughly corresponding to village centers.
If you don’t know your ward, you can go to the City of Newton page to find it.
The Republican City Committee has 8 ward chairs, with individuals in that ward serving as part of their committee as well as being part of the whole City committee.
We would love to help you be involved!
