College Republicans

Founded in 1892 by James Francis Burke, the College Republican National Committee (CRNC) is an independent political committee with over 200,000 members on more than 1,500 campuses nationwide. 

On campus, the CRNC recruits, trains, mobilizes, and engages college-aged students in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., to win elections and advocate for conservative ideals.  

Every year, College Republicans from all across America join together to help elect Republican candidates, support the Republican agenda, and become the future leaders of the conservative movement. 

Our efforts — whether disseminating campaign literature, canvassing neighborhoods, placing lawn signs, or calling voters — make the difference in Republican victories and drive our party forward. For many students, campus activism is their gateway into the Republican Party. 

Our goal is to build and foster lifelong allegiance with the party and the conservative movement for college students.
