Republican Main Street Partnership

The Republican Main Street Partnership is a 501(c)(4) organization that was allied with the congressional Republican Main Street Caucus. The Partnership continues to exist, but the Caucus was dissolved by its members in February 2019 and was since reformed as a separate unrelated entity. History Formation of the Republican Main Street Partnership The Chairman Emeritus and Founder of the group was now-deceased former Congressman Amo Houghton of New York. The Republican Main Street Partnership was formed following the 1994 House elections in which conservative Republicans were swept into power. An informal discussion group formed by representatives Nancy Johnson, Steve Gunderson and Fred Upton later became somewhat of an organized bloc intent on representing the moderate wing of the Republican Party, with the organization describing itself as a "broad alliance of centrist Republicans."
