Welcome to the website of the Lower Providence Republican Committee!
The LPRC is the official municipal organization for the Republican Party in LP. Our job is simple — to help elect and support Republicans to serve at all levels of local government; from Methacton School Board and the Lower Providence Board of Supervisors, to the PA House and Senate.
The committee is made up of 20 of your neighbors, men and woman from diverse background. We knock on doors, raise funds and work to get out the vote. We volunteer our time because we believe in our country, our commonwealth and our community. We believe that Lower Providence continues to be a great place to live, work and worship, and we believe that Republican values will help ensure that it remains that way. Those values are hard work, smaller government, lower taxes, individual freedoms, and personal responsibility.
