Co Chairman
JOSHUA RHINEHART
​​​​​​Joshua is an America First Conservative, born and raised in the mountains he has learned the value of hard work and sacrifice. So when he saw a group of radical liberals attempting to take over our nation he knew it was time to step up. As a staunch supporter of President Trump he knows how important this election is. Which is why he started his local TARs (Teenage Republicans) Chapter in Buncombe County. After starting his chapter he quickly became involved in local politics. In the past several months he has worked with the North Carolina Teenage Republicans to build back a once strong organization and beacon of hope in North Carolina politics.

Secretary
JAYDEN EDA
Serving as the Secretary of the North Carolina Teenage Republicans, Jayden is a committed conservative leader who understands the vitality of the roles that Christ, freedom, life and the nuclear family play in shaping the state and nation we know. Based in deep blue Charlotte, Jayden launched his political career when he ran for Student Advisor to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education. He went on to continue his work in his city by founding and serving as the Chair of the Mecklenburg County Teenage Republicans.
​
Vowing to stand up against elite and corporate control over the lifestyle of Americans, Jayden believes that our rights come from God, not government. He has not let his surroundings in a blue city or racial demographics decide the way he thinks, and desires to further the conservative agenda into a multiethnic, youth-driven movement.
