Achievements
Todd Spitzer Fundraiser
Donahue and his administration planned the first known major fundraiser in CCR's history benefitting a candidate. The organization held a "Back the Blue" Dinner in Orange County that raised over $15,000 to assist in District Attorney Todd Spitzer's re-election, which he won, and $10,000 for CCR's own needs. The event was hailed as a massive and fun success by attendees, who enjoyed the event's humor. Being set on April 1st, the College Republicans embraced the day by giving away donuts as pro-cop party favors, hosting a mug-shot photo booth, and more.
Voter Guide
The Donahue, Bymel, and Martin administrations enjoyed success over a 10 month period with their 2022 election voter guide. The endorsements and recommendations in the guide were researched by Martin, Donahue, and other members of the Executive Board — and included advice on judges, ballot measures, and local candidates. The guide received over 25,000 unique views.
Fundraising Record
The Donahue Admin broke Nick Ortizs' Admin's fundraising record, raising nearly $50,000.
