Statement on Civic Order, Constitutional Process, and Republican Leadership

On January 6, 2021, the United States Congress convened in joint session to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, as required by the Constitution and federal law. During this process, the United States Capitol was breached, disrupting congressional proceedings and prompting a temporary suspension of the certification process. Congress later reconvened and completed its constitutional duty.

Events that disrupt constitutional processes underscore the importance of civic order, institutional respect, and responsible leadership. The constitutional system depends on the peaceful execution of lawful procedures and the ability of institutions to function without coercion or disorder. Leadership during such moments requires clarity, restraint, and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law.

Republican Leaders affirms its commitment to principled Republican leadership grounded in constitutional fidelity, civic responsibility, and institutional integrity. Republican leadership carries a responsibility to uphold lawful processes, respect the separation of powers, and reinforce public confidence in the institutions that sustain the Republic.

As the nation moves forward, Republican Leaders emphasizes the importance of leadership that promotes civic order, respects constitutional outcomes, and contributes to national stability. The enduring strength of the Republic depends on leaders who meet moments of institutional strain with seriousness, accountability, and a clear commitment to constitutional governance.

Republican Leaders is a civic leadership organization dedicated to advancing principled Republican leadership through education, dialogue, and institutional stewardship.
