What We Do

The Miami Young Republicans is a powerhouse impacting public policy and cultivating a new generation of leaders who are spearheading Miami's emergence as a global capital for business and innovation.

Our organization serves as a global voice for freedom and democracy, as a key supporter of anti-communist activists in our hemisphere, and as a catalyst for conservative governance in greater Miami and across America.

ELECT MIAMIYRS MEMBERS TO OFFICE

Our successful NextGenGOP program has helped to elect 30+ members as mayors, commissioners, and state legislators, the most YR elected officials in America. Our members have also been placed into gov't boards or political offices at all levels.

IMPACT PUBLIC POLICY AND PASS LEGISLATION

MiamiYRs leads important policy & advocacy initiatives, such as passing the Victims of Communism Bill, rolling back CCP influence in South Florida, supporting freedom fighters in Cuba & Venezuela, and legalizing ridesharing & craft brewing in our region.

DELIVER REPUBLICAN ELECTION VICTORIES

CULTIVATE EXCLUSIVE NETWORK & EVENTS

We host social events, online meetings, conferences, fundraising receptions, and other special occasions that draw hundreds of Republican leaders and activists. Don’t miss our Cigar Series, annual Beach BBQ, and Christmas Party & Toy Drive.
