History

CCR was founded on August 29, 1963 by Randolph Siefkin, Harold Phillips, William Nielsen, William Dillon, and Pete Wilson (who went on to serve as a US Senator from 1983-1991 and Governor of California from 1991-1999).

The original mission statement read: "The specific and primary purposes for which this corporation is formed are to support the Republican party, to provide pleasure and recreation for the members, to encourage constructive thinking among young people and the development of their interest in good government, and to unite young people in the spirit of good fellowship to achieve these objectives."

Below you will find a historical archive of past CCR administrations in an effort to honor and learn from them. Formed by Communications Director Dylan Martin in 2019, the archive is maintained by the Communications Office and the Marketing Committee. Full history prior to 2017 is unknown, but filled in to the best of CCR’s knowledge. Click on an administration to learn more.
