We also have some fantastic events on the horizon, including networking opportunities, policy discussions, and volunteer efforts that allow you to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for conservative principles.

YRs in the White House

We are thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of one of our very own, Natalya Hardin, who recently began working in Washington, D.C.! Her hard work, dedication, and commitment to conservative ideals have taken her all the way to our nation’s capital. Natalya’s journey is a shining example of where passion and perseverance can lead, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her representing Orange County Young Republicans on a national stage. Her success is a powerful reminder that young conservatives are making an impact across the country—starting right here at home.

YRs In The Community

3rd Thursdays is an exciting new event series offering residents and visitors a recurring opportunity to discover new spaces and businesses while eating, shopping, and strolling through the village in an open and lively setting. Walk, discover, and dine at local restaurants, collect passport points for special rewards, bring the kids and pups, enjoy pop-ups, specials, giveaways, and more. Experience all that our incredible community has to offer while all are out enjoying it together. 

2025 YR National Convention

The 2025 Young Republican National Convention is open to all Young Republicans. If you would like to attend and be a delegate to have voting privileges, please respond to this email or reach out to me directly as we have purchased a ticket bundle at a discounted rate. We also need to keep track of our delegates. YRNC only happens every two years. It's an incredible event to get filled with fun, learning and connecting with like minded people from around the country.

Sponsor Shoutout!

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Irvine City Councilman Mike Carroll for his generous support in sponsoring our monthly board meetings at the Pacific Club in Newport Beach. His commitment to empowering the next generation of conservative leaders is deeply appreciated, and his support helps make our continued growth and collaboration possible. Thank you, Councilman Carroll, for being a true friend to OCYR and championing our mission.

March Recap

We had a cozy and nostalgic time at Mimi's Café in Tustin. Tara Campbell and Margaret Novak shared the joys and benefits of being a part of the Marian Bergeson Series.
