About Highland Lakes Young Republicans
Highland Lakes Young Republicans is the official Burnet County and Llano County chapter of the Young Republicans of Texas, the youth wing of the Republican Party of Texas, for conservatives ages 18 to 40. We exist to unite young conservatives, build real community, and grow youth engagement in Hill Country politics.
Why we started
The Highland Lakes is one of the most beautiful places in Texas, with five lakes along the Colorado River, granite hills, historic courthouse squares, and small towns where people still know their neighbors. It’s also changing fast. New subdivisions, new businesses, and new residents arrive every year, and big decisions about growth, water, taxes, and schools are being made right now.
Young people in Burnet and Llano County had no dedicated place to plug in. So we built one. Highland Lakes YR gives 18- to 40-year-olds a home base to meet like-minded neighbors, learn how local politics works, and get to work.
What we believe
- Faith, family, and freedom are worth defending.
- Texas comes first, and America comes first.
- Government closest to the people works best.
- Equal justice under law for every Texan.
- Our land, water, and way of life are worth protecting for the next generation.
- Showing up beats complaining online.
