About Us
About the Hawaii Young Republicans
The Hawaii Young Republicans (HYR) are the official Hawaii charter of the Young Republicans National Federation (YRNF), the oldest political youth organization in the United States. Since the first Young Republican club formed in 1856 to support the new Republican Party and the abolitionist movement, Young Republicans have helped shape the direction of American conservatism.
Today, HYR continues that legacy by uniting young conservatives across Hawaii and building the next generation of Republican leaders. As part of the national federation founded under Chairman George H. Olmsted in 1935, we work to advance conservative principles, strengthen the Republican Party, and engage voters ages 18–40 in the political process.
Our Mission
Our mission is to recruit young conservatives, train emerging leaders, and elect Republicans at every level of government. We are committed to equipping Hawaii's young professionals with the knowledge, community, and opportunities needed to defend America's values and secure a stronger future.
Our Vision
We envision a statewide network of energized young conservatives who are informed, organized, and ready to serve. Together with the YRNF, we support grassroots activism, promote conservative solutions, and help build a united and prosperous America.
