The Young Republican Federation of California will soon be going on its 15th year. And in those 15 years YRFC has seen many accomplishments. We’ve seen our ranks of 18-40 year olds double and triple in size. Many of our members have been successful in getting elected to public office, like one of our founders, Tony Strickland, who served in the California State Assembly and our immediate past chairman Matthew Harper who is elected to the Huntington Beach Union High School District board, just to name a couple. Many members of YRFC, past and present, have also been elected to positions within the California Republican Party and local county part operations. And we’ve seen the number of YRFC chapters increase over the years, with our Orange County chapter being the largest in the state.

YRFC currently has active chapters up and down the Golden State, from clubs in the Silicon Valley region, to Sacramento, to the Central Valley, to Ventura County, Los Angeles County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County and San Diego County. And I am pleased to say that more are in the process of chartering with YRFC.

We are thrilled with the great opportunities that are soon to be brought before us with the upcoming Presidential election. Many Young Republicans will be coming out of the woodwork to join other likeminded conservatives in the fight to keep the White House in Republican hands and to take back the US Congress. What better organization to network, make long lasting friendships, and take part in real grassroots activity that actually does make a difference than YRFC!

We welcome all conservative Young Republicans, from 18 years old to 40 years old, to join our ranks and be part of one of the largest Republican organizations here in California that stands for principle and serves as a conservative anchor to the party. We are the energetic, committed soul of our Grand Old Party!

When this site is fully operational, I encourage you to use it as a tool to help you increase Young Republican ranks on the ground and network with thousands of YR’s in the state who would be eager to assist you.

Thank you YR’s for electing me as your Chair for the 2007-2009 term. We got plenty to accomplish ahead of us. I cannot do this alone, nor do I expect you to do so alone. The battle ahead of us will require all of us to come together, strengthened by the conservative passion and conviction in our hearts and with our faith in God Almighty, and fight to take back our generation and gain in Republican victories.

Together, its onward and upward from here, my friends!

Sincerely,



Benjamin Lopez, Chairman
Young Republican Federation of California
