On May 25, 2013, HIRA formalized its organization, elected officers, adopted by-laws and unanimously passed a resolution condemning the actions of President Obama for his many failures including the recent government scandals.

The Republican Assembly was founded in 1932 in California, gaining prominence under Ronald Reagan in 1964. We are a grassroots movement to take back the Hawai'i Republican Party for the vast and disenfranchised majority of its members: Reagan conservatives, who believe in smaller government, lower taxes, free market capitalism, a strong defense, the right to life, and more liberty in Hawai'i.

Incoming president Tito Montes, a past Republican State Senate candidate declared that: "HIRA exists to advance conservative Republican reforms and solutions so that they are understood and demanded by a majority of Hawai'i citizens and voters. We are working to elect conservative Republicans to positions of responsibility throughout the state."

HIRA officers and many of the conservative organization's members are past or present leaders in the Hawai'i Republican Party, as well as past Republican candidates for office and political activists spanning a range of local, state and national issues.

The full roster of officers, elected to two-year terms, is listed here:

*** President Tito Montes
*** National Director Willes K.Lee
*** National Director Colleen Meyer
*** 1st Vice President Marissa Capelouto
*** 2nd Vice President Carol White
*** Treasurer Michael G. Palcic
*** Secretary Brett Kulbis
