NRCC Announces Addition of 6 Candidates to 2024 Young Guns Program

The National Republican Congressional Committee today announced the additions of Neil Parrot (MD-06), Paul Hudson (MI-03), Russell Prescott (NH-01), Drew Johnson (NV-03), Mike LiPetri (NY-03) & Orlando Sonza (OH-01) to the 2024 Young Guns program.

“This class of Young Gun candidates’ hard work gives us the ability to go on offense,” said NRCC Communications Director Jack Pandol. “Meanwhile extreme Democrats promise to be a rubber stamp for Kamala Harris’ far-left liberal agenda of higher taxes, open borders and crime-infested neighborhoods.”

The Young Gun program mentors and supports candidates in races across the country and works to provide them with the necessary tools to run successful, winning campaigns against their Democratic opponents.

The program requires candidates to work towards specific goals and meet benchmarks throughout the election cycle to ensure their campaigns remain competitive, well-funded and communicative within their districts.
