Following in Mom’s footsteps
Well, there’s at least one North Carolina family where Republican leadership runs in the family. Emily Stack – daughter of former NCGOP vice chairman Miriam Chu – was elected Saturday as state 
chairman of the North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans. Stack, who operates from a strong libertarian-leaning conservative philosophy and has worked for free market groups like FreedomWorks, defeated her opponent Jacob Abel, a big fan of carbon taxes and the United Nations, by a vote of 71-40.
Stack is a dramatic departure from her predecessor in the state chairman role — liberal establishment fan Catherine Whiteford.
Both Stack and her mother have ties to Moore and Lee counties.
I’ve long believed that the key to protecting conservative principles within the GOP is ensuring that our youngest, newest activists come in with a strong conservative foundation. Stack’s ascension should help that effort greatly In North Carolina. Let’s hope she gets the help she needs to get the job done.
Congrats to her that is wonderful news
Thank you for a positive article.
Emily Stack will be a fantastic Chair and she has organized a strong team that will work well together.
The YRs are Right Now. They are Republicans working hard to climb the ladder, getting married, having babies and start their life foundation. They are in a really hard, busy stage of life yet they choose to actively pitch in to run for office and to help win races. I salute them. Thank you YRs.
Ps Emily learned from the best. I adore Miriam Chu.

It is wonderful to see the NCFYP in the hands of a leader who cares more about the mission than personal enhancement. The old adage that “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” would suggest that Emily has some of the wonderful talents and work ethic of her Mother which is good for our future leaders and the Party. Congratulations to all.
Having been heavily involved in the NC Federation of Young Republicans some decades ago, I am happy to see it move back to the conservative side of things, where it was during my tenure there. Having a disciple of Al Gore and Greta Thunberg as state chairman would have been an unmitigated disaster. Congratulations, Emily!
So very proud of Emily. A wonderful young lady with so much to offer. Congrats!!
I’m glad to see conservatives move back into leadership with the Young Republicans
Emily Stack is a truly gifted YR, unparalleled across the state. She has seen excellence first hand in her mom’s selfless service as NCGOP Vice Chair- perhaps the most professional 2 years of service ever to the NCGOP at that level. It speaks volumes about the NCFYR that they would elect Emily to provide mentorship and leadership for this pivotally important group. Great things lie ahead.
