If you’re interested in the DC Young Republican leadership, please contact Sam Moore at moore.samuel.a@gmail.com No later than close of business on Friday, February 10th. 

If he doesn’t receive your notice of intent to run by that date, your name may not appear on the printed ballots at the elections in March (of course, floor nominations are always welcome… everyone loves a write-in campaign!)

In addition to the following elected positions, there are several assistant officers, committees, appointments, and volunteer opportunities if running for office isn’t for you. We welcome anyone who is motivated and enthusiastic to help out! It takes a much bigger team than just our elected officers to pull off everything DC Young Republicans do, and will need to do this Presidential election cycle!!

The following positions are up for election
