Welcome!

 
Welcome to the Lawrence County, PA Young Republicans blog!  The purpose of this blog is to express the views of young republicans about local and national politics.  We encourage discussion, so please feel free to leave comments in our comments section.

What is the LCYR?  We're a political action committee consisting of regular and associate members.  Regular members are defined as being a Lawrence County registered republican from the age of 18 to under 41.  We have quite a few associate members which are Lawrence County registered republicans aged 41 and over.  We also welcome any high school students who are under the age of 18 who are politically minded.

We meet every third Thursday at 7 pm for an hour at the New Castle Public Library's Copernicus Room.  This month, we will be meeting on the fourth Thursday, April 24th due to a scheduling conflict.  You can find us on our Facebook page, Facebook group, and our twitter page. We are currently planning a mixer "meet the candidates" before the May 21st primary.  More details to come!

Our mission is to encourage more young Republicans to be more active in local politics.  Our members have years of experience in elections. We are always looking for volunteers and candidates for office.  Interested in being a candidate for office?  We can tell what you need to know to make being a candidate an easier experience including circulating petitions, campaigning, fund raising, etc. 

Last year, we donated thousands of dollars to local candidates.  We have an "open book" policy regarding our financial records.  We file all required campaign finance forms.  Officers do not receive any money for their work other than legitimate YR expenses with receipts.

Have any questions for us?  Leave a comment, email us, or contact us on Facebook and Twitter.  Thanks for reading. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
