About Us

Who We Are

Grand Forks Young Republicans is the home for young conservatives in the Greater Grand Forks area, and a proud part of the North Dakota Young Republicans.

Our Mission

Recruit, train, and elect the next generation of conservative leaders.

We exist to give young Republicans in Grand Forks a real voice in local, state, and national politics. That means building a community where members can learn how campaigns and government actually work, meet the people who represent them, and step up to lead.

We stand for limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise, and strong families and communities. Those are the values that make North Dakota a great place to live, and we're working to keep it that way.
