Stallbrook Republican Party

The Stallbrook Republican Party is the center-right political party in the city of Stallbrook, and the local chapter of the national party. Up to 2020, it included a mix of moderates (Greta Bauer, Nora O'Brien), pragmatic "compassionate conservatives" (Angel Portillo), libertarians, and hardline conservatives (Carl Hersch, Michael Jaeger, Kristine Manatos). The clear tensions between the factions, with hardliners referring to moderates as RINOs ("Republicans In Name Only"), led to the party embracing the designation of Main Street Republicans for municipal elections, and negotiating its relationship with the rest of the GOP. Many hardline conservatives, who frequently accepted co-endorsements from the right-wing Constitution Party, left to join that party. The Republicans held four of the fifteen seats in the City Council after the 2019 elections, now down to two with Hersch and Manatos changing their designations to Constitution. In the 2023 municipal elections, the "Main Streeters" fielded a number of candidates for local office; O'Brien and Portillo won re-election, Bauer won an at-large seat at the expense of Hersch, newcomer Tina Sumner defeated Manatos, and Damian Quincy won the office of City Clerk.
