Where young conservatives in the Highland Lakes show up
Burnet and Llano County are growing fast, and the people moving here, working here, and raising families here deserve a seat at the table. Highland Lakes Young Republicans brings together 18- to 40-year-olds who want to do more than scroll past the news. We meet monthly, host speakers, knock doors, work campaigns, and build the friendships and local network that turn conservative values into results.
Whether you grew up on Lake LBJ, commute out of Kingsland every morning, or just moved to Marble Falls, this is your chapter.
What we do
Meet
Monthly meetings, speaker nights, and socials across Burnet and Llano County. Bring a friend.

Texas First. America First. Hill Country strong.
Young Texans are paying the price for decisions made far from here: foreign wars we never voted for, jobs handed to foreign visa workers, housing we can’t afford, and big projects that want our water and our grid. We fight for policies that put Texans, and the Highland Lakes, first.
- America First foreign policy reform
- Texas jobs for Texas workers
- Protecting Highland Lakes water and the power grid
- Family formation and affordable homes
- Equal justice under law
Why the Highland Lakes needs young conservatives
Burnet County grew from 49,130 people in the 2020 Census to an estimated 57,015 in 2025. Llano County grew from 21,243 to an estimated 23,353. But young adults are still outnumbered here: the median age is 45.9 in Burnet County and 57.7 in Llano County. Llano County’s own economic development plan warns that poor broadband can make the county less attractive to younger generations. If the next generation doesn’t show up, someone else decides the future of our towns.
