Students for DeSantis, a youth-oriented grassroots effort organized by Never Back Down, has reached a milestone 100 chapters across the country. The chapters span across 37 states and are actively recruiting and growing throughout the summer to have a significant presence on college campuses for the upcoming school year. Students for DeSantis has emphasized building out in the early primary states.
“There is incredible energy from young voters and college students for Ron DeSantis, enabling us to rapidly set up new chapters, recruit more and more volunteers, and really hit the ground running in our efforts to help elect Gov. DeSantis as our next President,” said Director of Students for DeSantis Marcel Teloma. “With 100 chapters across 37 states and counting, we are thrilled to head into the fall semester with a stronger presence than any other candidate-affiliated group in the GOP primary. Working alongside established conservative groups on campuses, like College Republicans, we’ll continue to grow our recruitment and mobilization in support of Gov. DeSantis.”
Students for DeSantis runs 50 unique social media accounts between Instagram and Twitter to expand their reach with young voters, and allow chapters around the country to engage and share pro-DeSantis content. Each chapter is run by a Chairman leading the recruitment, outreach, and mobilization activities for the fall semester.
