Who We Are
We are mothers, business owners, and engaged citizens who believe that meaningful change begins at the local level. Our commitment is rooted in the understanding that strong values, safe neighborhoods, and responsible leadership are first cultivated within our own community.
Local government decisions directly affect our families, schools, businesses, and public safety. By focusing our efforts at the grassroots level, we are able to engage neighbors personally, address issues with practical solutions, and build trust through consistent involvement. These local foundations are essential for developing informed voters and accountable leadership.
When communities are strong, their values naturally extend beyond city limits. Grassroots engagement in small towns creates a model for success that carries forward into county, state, and federal elections. By starting locally, we ensure that the principles guiding higher levels of government are grounded in real-world experience, common sense, and a genuine understanding of the people they serve.

Melissa Gauna
Membership Chair
As a daughter of the Most High King, wife, mother and business owner, I am passionate about integrating faith and finances and helping others steward their resources with purpose. I have called Liberty Hill home for more than 15 years and care deeply about the community that my family and I have been blessed to be part of.
I have supported several local charitable organizations over the years and have been involved with the Georgetown Area Republican Women (GARW) and Leander Area Republican Women (LARW) for the past 5 years because Liberty Hill lacked a local club. After seeing Charlie Kirk silenced, I felt a conviction to step out in faith and lead rather than sit on the sidelines, so along with some amazing local women, we launched Liberty Hill Republican Women (LHRW).
My desire is to leave a positive impact on my community--living by my dad's advice: when you borrow something, leave it better than you found it.
