New York Federation of College Republicans

The New York Federation of College Republicans, also known as the NYFCR, is an organization that oversees College Republicans chapters across the state of New York. The NYFCR and its chapters are made up of college and university students who support the Republican Party of the United States. In 2021, the NYFCR withdrew from the College Republican National Committee. The NYFCR now functions as an independent organization, and is affiliated with different Republican and conservative groups in New York state, including the New York Republican State Committee. and the New York Young Republican Club.[1]

Governing Structure

The executive board of NYFCR is made up of eleven positions headed by a chairperson. The current chairman of the organization is Augustus LeRoux.[2]

Chapters that make up the state organization are divided into five regions: the Capital region, the Central Region, Long Island, New York City, and the Western region. Each region is managed by a regional chair that is also a member of the executive board.[2]

Withdrawal from CRNC

In July 2021, the NYFCR voted to leave the College Republican National Committee[3] following allegations that then-Chairman Chandler Thorton was using the mismanaging the organization's funds.[4][5] In the dossier released by the NYFCR, the issue of $122,000 donated by Kid Rock to an organization once controlled by Thornton became a point of contention.[6]
