Dear Friend,

Thank you for being an active OCYR supporter. We’re excited to head into 2026 with you and hope you continue to stay engaged as we roll out what’s ahead in the new year. 

Our focus: We engage young voters in our communities, drive get-out-the-vote efforts, and empower the next generation to step into leadership roles.

We welcome our 2026 board, whose drive and dedication are already bringing momentum and focus to the year ahead. Our team is building a welcoming community where you can connect, participate, and grow in a professional environment.

We appreciate your time and energy supporting conservative values across our county. I look forward to seeing you soon! 

- Elizabeth Voltz, President, OC Young Republicans

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Message

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a society built on love, justice, and mutual respect. One of his most enduring hopes was that people not be judged “by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Dr. King's leadership against racial discrimination brought about lasting legislative reforms in the United States. 

In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed Martin Luther King Jr. Day into law. This holiday is also designated as a national Day of Service, one of only two federal holidays with this distinction.

Dr. King believed that progress depends on everyday citizens taking responsibility for their communities. Volunteering our time is one way to honor his legacy today, through action.
