The Fairfax Young Republicans (FYR) proudly announces its official relaunch with renewed energy, fresh leadership, and an ambitious agenda to engage young conservatives throughout Fairfax County. We hosted our kickoff event on March 28th, 2025 which featured keynote speakers and networking opportunities for young professionals interested in conservative advocacy and political engagement.

“We’re revitalizing the Fairfax Young Republicans to create a dynamic community where the next generation of conservative leaders can connect, develop their skills, and make a meaningful impact in local politics,” said Greg Heaston, Chair of the Fairfax Young Republicans. “Our mission is to promote limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty while providing a welcoming space for young conservatives in Northern Virginia.”

The relaunch comes at a pivotal time as young voters increasingly seek platforms to express their political views and influence policy decisions at the local level. The organization aims to bridge the gap between established Republican leadership and emerging young talent in one of Virginia’s most populous counties.

• Monthly Meetings and Networking Events: Regular gatherings featuring guest speakers, policy discussions, and social networking opportunities
