Is Your Membership up to Date?
If you're not an HYR member or need to renew your dues, don't wait, do it today!
Being an HYR member comes with perks, ranging from free entry to many of our events, discounted tickets to others, having a space to network with likeminded individuals, and so much more.
On a personal note, this is my last email as President of the Houston Young Republicans. It's been an incredible honor to serve this organization and work with an equally incredible team alongside all of you. Together, we tripled our membership, put on some of the most impactful events in our chapter's history, and set a new standard for what it means to be a Young Republican chapter in Texas.
Thank you for making this year unforgettable, and for being part of something truly special. I know the future of HYR is in great hands under Courtney Trevino and the new leadership team--there's so much more to come, and I can't wait for them to get started.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a 2025 full of promise and progress!
Cheers,
Rafael E. Struve
President, Houston Young Republicans
