The California College Republicans have unanimously voted to censure former CCR Chairwoman Leesa Danzek and strip her of the honorary title of "Chairwoman Emeritus" following the discovery that she is now a Democrat activist.
The Horry County Republican Party reported that "Leesa Danzek ... once was an extremely active college Republican ... but became disillusioned with the GOP and now is working ... to help elect Democrats ..." Further, they quoted Leesa as explaining her choice to become a Democrat, saying, "With Donald Trump coming to be the head of the Republican party it was really difficult being a moderate Republican." Leesa further explained that she had been a "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" Republican, and that as chair of the California College Republicans was considered "the darling of the Republican party."
Danzek is the first CCR Chair in over 20 years to flip to the Democrats.
CCR hopes Danzek sees the light and comes back to the Republican Party.
Moxie History
Moxie was originally CCR's print Magazine, which ran from c. 2003-2011. Moxie functioned as both a news source and a yearbook for College Republicans before the social media age. Moxie was very popular in its print days — and even made its way in the hands of prominent political commentator Sean Hannity! Chairmen Emeriti Dylan Martin and Nick Ortiz revived Moxie in 2020 as CCR's news arm.
