The Linn-Mar Teenage Republicans (LMTARS) was started in 2005 at Linn-Mar High School by Ryan Loftsgaarden. That fall LMTARS successfully sold over 75 t-shirts, got First Place in the 2005 Linn-Mar Homecoming Parade and ran a successful Christmas Fundraiser with Former State Senator Chuck Larson as the main speaker. Our purpose is spread conservative ideas to students. We also work with the Linn County GOP and political campaigns as a grassroots Republican organization.

Mission Statement
Linn-Mar Teenage Republicans is committed to spreading conservative ideas across the student body. As a group we believe in continuing equality for all people, providing common defense, promoting free enterprise and acting responsibly with our freedoms and liberties. Our number one goal is to provide a stage for political thought whether it is conservative, moderate or liberal.
