Founded in 1991, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the principles of limited government, free markets and individual liberty within the Republican Party.

A contingent of Nebraska RLC members that serve on the Republican Party of Nebraska State Central Committee, along with a number of other non-RLCNE State Central Committee members, expressed their disapproval of the NEGOP taking the position of endorsing incumbent GOP officeholders at a recent statewide Republican Party meeting.

While the Nebraska RLC members and others were not able to turn away the decision to endorse (by a narrow margin), Republican Liberty Caucus members did have the opportunity to object to the Party’s endorsements — not due to animosity toward any of the incumbents, but because they believe that Party itself should avoid the look of ‘smoke filled rooms’ making decisions about who the nominees of the Party should be.

According to Nebraska RLC Chair Laura Ebke, “We will continue to act as the conscience of the Nebraska Republican Party, and question actions that we consider ill-advised — even when we don’t win.”
