Walsh Elected Bergen YRs Chair

Tim Walsh, a political consultant and 2021 Republican nominee for Bergen County Commissioner, was elected to lead the Bergen County Young Republicans at their reorganization meeting on June 28. Walsh, 35, of Ramsey, has previously been employed by both the Republican National Committee and New Jersey Republican Party to run voter contact operations at the county, state, and federal levels. He presently serves as the Secretary for the District 39 Republican Committee.

Previously garnering 119,117 votes in his County Commissioner bid, Walsh has been seen by many in the Bergen GOP as a “rising star” and potential future candidate for office.

With this post comes a seat on the Bergen GOP Policy Committee that impacts the awarding of the organization line in 2024.

“Taking command of this organization is a challenge I embrace,” said Walsh. “The standards are high for a group that has elevated numerous Republican candidates to victory over the years and intends to stay as relevant as ever through activism, recruitment, and fundraising. The United States may be at a moral crossroads, but the BCYRs will always promote the rule of law, respect for life, and love for our beautiful American heritage.”

Joining Walsh on his leadership team is Vice Chair Michael Casey, a Bergen GOP operative, Treasurer Andrew Lyons, a legislative aide to Assemblyman Robert Auth, and Secretary Chris Hughes, Chief of Staff to Assemblyman Chris DePhillips and a trustee on the Mahwah Board of Education.
