National Republican Senatorial Committee Explained

The National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) is the Republican Hill committee for the United States Senate, working to elect Republicans to the Senate. The NRSC was founded in 1916 as the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. It was reorganized in 1948 and renamed the National Republican Senatorial Committee.[1] It is currently chaired by Senator Steve Daines from Montana.

After the November 2024 election, Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina was elected incoming NRSC Chair.[2]

The NRSC helps elect Republican incumbents and challengers primarily through fundraising.[3]
