Proud to serve Riga! (Latvian: Gods kalpot Rīgai!, GKR) is a municipal political party located in Riga, Latvia. It was created in 2012 and is led by Andris Ameriks, the current Riga vice-Mayor.[3]

In 2013 the party entered an electoral alliance with the centre-left Harmony party to participate in the Riga municipal election[4]. The joint Harmony/GKR list won 58.5% and 39 seats, of which Proud to serve Riga received 15. Together the two parties control the Riga City Council. From 2004-2011 Andris Ameriks was a member of the Riga Council for the Latvia's First Party and thereafter Latvia's First Party/Latvian Way, a party of centre-right orientation. The majority of party members are former deputies of the LPP/LC fraction in the Riga City Council.
