About CYR

Legacy. Leadership. Purpose.

Dedicated to cultivating Chicago's next generation of civic, political, and business leaders.

Chicago Young Republicans (CYR) exists to cultivate the next generation of civic, political, and business leaders in Chicago. Rooted in tradition and guided by principle, CYR provides a forum for thoughtful discussion, meaningful relationships, and long-term engagement in public life.

Our mission is to foster leadership, strengthen civic responsibility, and build a community of professionals committed to advancing conservative ideas through discourse, education, and action. CYR is not a campaign organization. It is a civic institution dedicated to intellectual growth, service, and connection.

Through curated events, member programming, and leadership development, Chicago Young Republicans serve as a home for individuals who believe in responsibility, integrity, and the enduring value of civic participation.

President's Message

I'm honored to welcome you to the Chicago Young Republicans.

Whether you're looking to network, make your voice heard, or simply connect with like-minded people, you're part of something meaningful: an organization dedicated to strengthening Chicago through a community of Republicans who support one another politically, professionally, and personally.

At CYR, we believe open dialogue and honest conversation create real opportunities where free speech isn't just protected; it's celebrated. From local issues to national movements, we aim to provide a place where your values belong and where you're surrounded by others who share them. We are a big-tent community, bringing together Republicans from across the ideological spectrum with a broad scope of different perspectives.

Serving as President of the Chicago Young Republicans is a true privilege, and one I approach with deep gratitude. This organization has been a source of energy, connection, and meaningful relationships in my life, and it's a joy to be part of its continued growth.

We believe in this city, we believe in this country, and we're just getting started.

God bless Chicago, and God bless the United States of America.
