Republican Governors Association

The Republican Governors Association (RGA) was formed in 1963 by 16 Governors from across the country. The RGA supports the election of Republican gubernatorial candidates and the reelection of incumbent Republican Governors.

From 1993 through December 31, 2006, the RGA contributed $550,000 to Illinois statewide offices and 100% of these funds were given to Republicans.

Last revised June 2011.
