History:

The NRSC was founded in 1916, as the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, following the ratification of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution -- which provided for the direct election of Senators. In 1948, the Committee reorganized and was renamed the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

In accordance to law, the NRSC is registered as a National Party Committee with the Federal Election Commission.

Leadership:

The Chairman of the NRSC is elected every two years by the Republican Senate caucus. Members of the caucus are appointed by the Senate Republican Conference Committee.

The current Chairman, Nevada Senator John Ensign, was elected at the end of 2006. Click here to view past NRSC chairmen. Utah Senator Orrin Hatch is the current Vice Chairman.
