The Republican Main Street Partnership is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C.

According to its website, the group pledged to support legislation for equity, security, and prosperity; work with anyone, regardless of party, to solve problems; and choose solutions over rhetoric and country over party.[1]

In 2021, Sarah Chamberlain, the partnership's president, said the group would not take policy positions but rather offer policy and communications support to its membership. In June 2021, the organization hired former Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) as an outside adviser to help raise more than $25 million for the 2022 election cycle.[2]

Mission

“

The Main Street Partnership encompasses a broad alliance of centrist Republicans, including more than 60 sitting members in Congress. We are dedicated to working across the aisle to enact common-sense legislation on issues such as healthcare, family issues, workforce development, the environment (including clean water), and transportation/infrastructure. Our members run and win in the most highly contested swing districts in the country.[4]

Background

The Republican Main Street Partnership was formed by Rep. Amory Houghton (R-N.Y.) following the 1994 midterm elections, which resulted in a net gain of 54 seats to the U.S. House for Republicans. [5][6]

The partnership began as an informal discussion group led by Reps. Nancy Lee Johnson (R-Conn.), Steven Gunderson (R-Wis.) and Fred Upton (R-Mich.). According to the Republican Main Street Partnership's website, this discussion group "evolved into a national gathering of leaders from government, business and education who share a commitment to conservative, pragmatic approaches to business in a global context; to compassion in our communities and character in our national leaders."[5]
