The election of Audra Shay as the new chairman of the Young Republicans has sparked much controversy within the group. As reported in The Daily Beast:
“I’m (like many) still trying to decide whether to quit, or fight, or try to help repair our organization’s reputation, or if we even deserve repair…There are a lot of YRs who want to take our party back, but the name has been damaged so much now, I’m not sure we want it back.
