Grassroots Newsletter - April Edition
Momentum, Messaging, and Mobilization
Welcome to the April Edition of the RNC Grassroots Advisory Committee Newsletter! As we move into April, President Donald J. Trump and Republicans continue to deliver real results, from growing the economy, securing the border, and improving public safety.
With the 2026 Midterms approaching, the goal of this newsletter is to provide a steady stream of information, updates, and opportunities for engagement to grassroots activists and local leaders. We encourage all of you to share this newsletter far and wide so that we maximize our outreach in preparation for 2026! If there is anything you’d like to see more of, additional information, questions, or ways we can improve this newsletter please do not hesitate to let us know.
Thank you for all that you are doing to advance conservatism and uphold our American ideals that are consistently under attack. The work you do does not go unnoticed, and we’re hopeful that this newsletter will only strengthen our partnerships both locally and nationally. Thank you!

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Fellow Republicans,
March was a strong month, and we’re building real momentum heading into April.
Republican leadership is delivering results—safer communities, a secure border, and policies that are putting working Americans first. Voters are seeing it, and it’s making a difference.
But we’re not slowing down.
The road to 2026 is going to take focus, discipline, and a relentless effort to win every voter we can. We need to stay unified, sharpen our message, and compete everywhere.
That starts with you.
Our grassroots network is what powers this movement. You are the ones talking to voters, sharing the President’s message, and making the case for what Republican leadership is delivering.
Now is the time to go on offense. Define the contrast. Win the conversation. Turn out the vote.
Let’s get to work and let’s win.
— Joe Gruters
Chairman, Republican National Committee
