OFRW Honors Local
Republican Woman
COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Ohio Federation of Republican Women (OFRW)
recently honored Cindy Pike at its Biennial Tribute to Women event.
Pike is a member of the Darke County Republican Women’s Club (DCRWC)
that nominated her for the recognition. Carrie Almond, President of the
National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) was present to assist in
honoring Pike.
“The women honored by the OFRW are outstanding examples of
Republicanism in the OFRW and their local communities,” said OFRW
President Lyn Bliss. “The Tribute to Women event honors unit club
members who have given their time and talent to promote Republican
candidates and values. In addition to supporting the election of
excellent candidates - criteria for being honored may include things
such as serving in government offices, accomplishing meaningful results
in professional life, successfully rearing families and volunteering in
civic and/or church organizations.”
Pike has served as the Darke County clerk of courts since 1996. She is
a stalwart within the DCRWC, having held many offices over the years.
She served as Darke County Republican Party chair from 2005 to 2013.
She has been a Darke County Republican Central Committee member since
1996, including chairing committees and holding the offices of
secretary and president. She has been on the Darke County Republican
Executive Committee since 1996.
She has chaired campaign committees and helped raise funds for various
candidates since 1984. She has chaired the county Lincoln Day Dinner,
organized the first annual Darke County GOP Golf Scramble in 1997, and
turned in record-setting call and door-to-door efforts on Super
Saturday in 2006. She volunteered with the George W. Bush campaign, and
on election night at the Darke County Board of Elections. She has
promoted Republican candidates and positions on issues and levies for
more than 30 years.
Other volunteer activities include the Red Cross Board, Boys and Girls
Club of Greenville Board, Paralegal Advisory Board for Edison Community
College, and the Ohio Clerks of Court Association. She organized a
volunteer group to support the Darke County Park District, served on
its Board of Trustees, and formed an endowment program to support
