Our National Vice Chair, running for re-election with the Grow Team: Nik Rettinger! From grassroots organizing to national leadership, Nik has delivered real results for the Young Republican movement: ✅ As National Vice Chair of the YRNF, Nik launched a regionally-driven growth initiative to help struggling states build sustainable membership and structure. Under his leadership, states with fewer than 100 members received hands-on support to surpass key benchmarks, and uni-club states were guided through launching their second and third chapters—building a lasting foundation for growth. 📈 Nik co-created the YRNF Growth Incentive Program and oversees the State & Club Grant Program—directly putting resources into the hands of grassroots leaders. These programs have helped states fund voter outreach, recruitment events, and local fundraisers—rewarding success and ensuring our clubs have the tools they need to win on the ground. 🎤 He’s a visible ambassador for YRs across the country, speaking at state events and hosting high-impact gatherings like the 2024 RNC Young Republican Reception in Milwaukee. Nik works closely with Regional Vice Chairs and national partners to amplify the YR brand and unify chapters across all regions. 🏛️ As Chair of the Wisconsin Young Republicans, Nik led one of the most effective state federations in the country—restructuring its constitution, securing formal recognition in the state party, and overseeing over 5 million voter contacts. During his tenure, WIYRs helped elect 2 YRs to Congress, 20 to the state legislature, and 15 to local office—proving that YRs can lead and win at every level. 🗳️ A former State Representative and long-time party leader, Nik has served in every corner of GOP infrastructure—from local club chair to statewide elected official. He chaired the YRNF State Chairs Association, led campaign operations, serves as 4th Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, and brought his signature energy to every level of the conservative movement.
