When a political party veers off course, is it possible to bring it back to its foundational principles? In this episode, Bright America president Austin Weatherford sits down with former Washington State GOP chair Chris Vance to explore that very question.
As a senior advisor to Our Republican Legacy (ORL), Vance offers a behind-the-scenes look at a growing grassroots effort aiming to steer the Republican Party away from MAGA extremism and back toward constitutional conservatism.
Founded by prominent Republican figures like Senators John Danforth and William Cohen, ORL is positioning itself as a resistance movement from within — what Vance calls “the Republican Party in exile.” With a national committee forming, state chairs organizing, and a public launch on the horizon, ORL represents one faction’s strategy for internal reform.
