ABOUT THE YOUNG GUNS PROGRAM

The Young Guns Program was created by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in the 2007-2008 cycle as a Member driven organization of House Republicans dedicated to electing open seat and challenger candidates nationwide. In the 2009-2010 cycle, the NRCC adopted the Young Guns program under the leadership of Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX).

Last cycle, the Young Guns Program achieved great success in leading the way to return Republicans to the Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. 62 out of 92 Young Guns won in 2010. Young Guns served as the model for both Member participation and support for Republican candidates, as well as a training program designed to assist candidates in developing aggressive campaigns. By Election Day, Young Gun Members raised $10.6 million for Young Gun candidates nationwide.
