Chair announces youth outreach initiative, legislative priorities, stronger coordination with county parties ahead of November elections
Special to the News
On his first day as chair of the Alabama Republican Party, Scott Stadthagen announced a vision focused on unifying Republicans across the state, strengthening the party’s grassroots organization and expanding conservative momentum ahead of the November elections.
Stadthagen said he will work closely with Republican elected officials, grassroots activists and county party leaders across Alabama to ensure the party remains organized, united and focused on victory in November.
Stadthagen’s first-day priorities include:
- Launching Project Future Generation, a statewide youth outreach initiative
- Advancing the Party Registration bill, the Alabama Republican Party’s top legislative priority
- Strengthening coordination with county Republican Party chairs across Alabama
“Today we begin a new chapter for the Alabama Republican Party,” said Chair Scott Stadthagen. “Our party is strongest when we are united, and my focus as chairman is bringing Republicans across this state together so we can continue building on the conservative success Alabama has seen. When our grassroots leaders, our county parties and our elected officials are all working together as one team, there’s no question we will win in November.”
Project Future Generation
One of the chair’s top initiatives is Project Future Generation, a youth outreach effort designed to engage teens and young adults and connect them directly with the conservative movement.
The initiative will be led by Alabama-based conservative podcaster and youth influencer Brilyn Hollyhand, who has built a national following among young conservatives.
“I want to thank Scott Stadthagen for recognizing that the future of the Republican Party includes the next generation and for welcoming Gen Z to the table,” said Hollyhand. “Project Future Generation will focus on organizing young conservatives across our state, building the next generation of Republican leaders and ensuring Alabama continues to lead the conservative movement for years to come.”
Stadthagen said engaging young conservatives will be critical to the party’s long-term success.
“If we want to build a strong party for the future, we have to invest in the next generation today,” Stadthagen said. “Project Future Generation is about connecting young people with conservative ideas, leadership opportunities, and a movement that believes in them.”
Hollyhand will be working closing with ALGOP’s Youth Outreach Coordinator Brady Johnson.
Legislative Priorities
Chair Stadthagen also announced that the Alabama Republican Party will continue building out its legislative priorities in coordination with Republican leaders in Montgomery.
The party’s top legislative priority this year will be passing the Party Registration bill, which would allow voters to formally register with a political party.
“Republicans across Alabama deserve a system that protects the integrity of our party and ensures that our nominees represent Republican voters,” Stadthagen said. “Passing party registration is an important step in strengthening our party and ensuring Republicans choose Republican candidates.”
Strengthening County Parties
Stadthagen said a major focus of his leadership will be working closely with county Republican Party chairs and local grassroots organizations across the state.
“Our county parties are the backbone of the Alabama Republican Party,” Stadthagen said. “My goal is to make sure our local leaders have the tools, communication and support they need to succeed in their communities. When our counties are strong, our entire party is strong.”
Stadthagen concluded by emphasizing that the party is entering the next election cycle united and focused on victory.
“Republicans in Alabama have built something strong, but our work isn’t finished,” Stadthagen said. “If we stay focused, stay united, and keep building on the foundation we’ve created, we will continue growing our party and winning elections across Alabama.”
