National Teen Age Republicans ( TARs ) is the youth wing of the United States Republican Party .
TARs have a presence in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia , with membership in the tens of thousands. [1] TARs are one of the three official youth wings of the Republican National Committee , along with Young Republican National Federation and College Republicans . [2]
History
The oldest recorded TAR group was formed in 1960 in South Dakota. [3]
The first national conference was held in Washington D.C. at Trinity College on June 16-21,1969, [4] and ever since National TARs has hosted an annual Teen Age Republican Leader Conference (TLC). [5] Following his 1980 election victory, Ronald Reagan held a reception for delegates to the TLC, where he stated that TARs "had a significant impact in the outcome of the last election...you walked the precincts, you licked stamps, stuffed envelopes, got senior citizens to the polls, and babysat while mothers voted...what you did [made] the difference between winning and losing." [6]
Ex-TARs members include Lawrence Lessig , [7] Paris Dennard , [8] Frank Luntz , [9] and Rob Bishop . [10]
