Paul Gourley is former National Chairman of the College Republican National Committee in the United States.
Gourley, a native of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was elected Chair of the College Republican National Committee in 2005.[1] He won the chairmanship following a contested campaign against former California CR State Chairman Michael Davidson.[2] The campaign focused on ethics and integrity issues surrounding the CRNC's fundraising activities and the organization's relationship with Response Dynamics in the previous years, while Gourley was the National Treasurer.[3] His election and the preceding campaign received national press in The New Republic and other newspapers and news magazines, as well as a number of prominent conservative and liberal blogs.
During his tenure, Gourley expanded the Field Representative program. [4]
Prior to his election as Chairman, Gourley's previous involvement in the College Republicans included time as the Vice-Chair of the South Dakota College Republican Federation, CRNC Field Representative in 2001 and 2002, and CRNC Treasurer from 2003-2005. He also chaired the youth campaign for then-Congressman John Thune's US Senate race in 2002. He was named CRNC Ronald Reagan Activist of the Year in 2003.
