​
The Woodlands Republican Women (TWRW) club began in 1987. The club originally was called Pathfinders. It began under the leadership of Rikki Teal when 12 women began meeting in members' homes. The objective in forming the club was to promote the Republican Party by encouraging Republicans to vote and run for office. Over time, membership increased and meetings were held monthly in the evening at The Forum at The Woodlands in Panther Creek.
The club changed its name to The Woodlands Republican Women in 2000 to better represent the club’s purpose. The club continued to meet in the evening at the Forum until 2009 when the TWRW board decided to move monthly meetings to a daytime luncheon.
In September 2009, the club held its first luncheon meeting at Landry’s Seafood House. In September 2022, under the leadership of President Lisa Gilmore, due to the need for a larger meeting space, TWRW began holding its luncheons on the third Tuesday of the month at The Woodlands Country Club Palmer Course.
In 2023, under the leadership of President Jessica Steinmann, the club reached TFRW Jumbo Club status for the first time ever. In 2023, the club started hosting its annual Derby Party Fundraiser to raise funds for republican candidates. In 2024, TWRW started it's Patron Membership Program, which helps raise funds for republican candidates while providing extra benefits to patron members. Additionally, in 2024, TWRW spent $30,000 and sent it's first GOTV mailers for the Nov. 2024 election to help Republican candidates and turnout the vote.
Today, the club continues to grow with many enthusiastic and dedicated women. With the objective of keeping Montgomery County, Harris County, and Texas RED, TWRW actively promotes Republican ideals, supports Republican elected officials and candidates for office, and supports republican women to run for office.
