Welcome to GOPAC, The Premier Republican Training and Education Center
Description
Following the 1978 elections, Delaware Governor Pete du Pont surveyed what was, from a Republican perspective, a bleak electoral landscape. A Democrat held the White House. Both houses of Congress were rock-solid Democrat, as they had been for more than a generation. Republican governors led just 12 states. Barely a quarter of state legislative bodies were in GOP control.
Du Pont fervently believed that as the party of lower taxes, limited government and strong national defense, Republicans constituted a natural majority. However, the party's electoral prospects were constrained by inexperienced candidates who offered muddled messages. By contrast, as the party in power at most levels of government during the post-war era, the Democrats had a healthy roster of tested candidates always eager to climb the next rung on the political ladder. Du Pont concluded that the Republican Party had to build a "farm team" if it was ever to become a governing majority party.
He knew that the work of building a Republican political infrastructure capable of winning -- and governing -- across America would take a generation. In 1979, GOPAC went to work.
