We Are Rock County First!

Guided by Liberty, we empower citizens to hold their local governments accountable to the governed. Our civic engagement, training, and education workgroups help citizens succeed in shaping the government that represents the community they desire.

Our members are motivated by a common desire to serve our Rock County, Wisconsin community. We believe local government has a profound effect on individual civil liberties and can impinge the exercise of personal freedoms. Whether it is overburdensome taxation, personal property rights, or protection of our Constitutionally protected Bill of Rights, our Supporters strive to ensure our locally elected representatives are responsible to us, We the People.

Rock County First (RCF) is a non-partisan, civic organization. We are interested in holding local governments to high standards of performance.

RCF endeavors to support our local governments in remaining effective and accountable to the citizens of Rock County, WI. Thomas Jefferson said it best, “The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

Putting Rock County First

Our volunteer-led workgroups are key to our performance and achievements by providing education, support and accountability. Members are encouraged to lend their talents to one or more of the workgroups.
