Contact Eileen [MEMBERS ONLY]
Eileen Sobjack was elected president of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) at the 41st Biennial Convention in Orlando, Fla., and and served from January 2022 to December 2023.
During her term as president, she was a guest on Fox & Friends First
and wrote an op-ed published in The Hill. She interviewed with dozens
of radio programs and podcasts and hosted the NFRW podcast
Republican Women Today.
Previously, Eileen
served on the NFRW Executive Committee as 1st vice president, 2nd vice president, 3rd vice president, secretary and member-at-large. She is an NFRW Capitol Regent. In 2011, she was one of five state presidents
nominated for the NFRW Ronald Reagan Leadership Award.
Instrumental in
supporting the reorganized club of Whatcom County RW, she was elected club
president in 2000. At the state level, she served in many key and varied roles
before being elected to two terms as state president of the Washington
Federation of Republican Women (WFRW). During her terms WFRW
membership increased.
Her journey into
politics started when she was a young mother and a partner in her husband’s
business. She saw firsthand the burden of excessive government control on families and small
business. She became dedicated to assuring the liberty and freedoms we enjoy
are available for the next generation. This led to her involvement initially as
a volunteer lobbyist and activist for Republican issues.
She has served at many levels of county Republican leadership and as
a member of the state party executive board. For her efforts, she was named 2006
Republican of the Year. She has been elected as a precinct committee officer since 1988 and has maintained the strong Republican percentage of votes in her precinct.
Eileen works each
election season in local, state and national campaigns. She has managed many campaigns over the years, but she also dons her tennis shoes to doorbell for candidates, makes phone calls and provides meals to volunteers. She is eager to assist with whatever is needed.
Eileen was elected as a Whatcom County charter review commissioner in 2015,
receiving the most votes in her district. She is a lifetime member of the VFW
Auxiliary, served as a trustee in her church and is a former public school
teacher and private teaching consultant. She and her husband raised three
active responsible citizens who, along with their spouses and nine children, are all Republicans.
