About
The Ventura County Young Republicans, or VCYR for short is the conservative voice of young Republicans in Ventura County. Membership is open to all registered Republicans age 18 to 40 in Ventura County. Republicans under 18 and over 40 can join as non-voting associate members. We hold chapter meetings, host events and help our local candidates get elected to political office.
