**Alabama GOP Chairman John Wahl to Visit Auburn University for “Challenge the Chairman” Event**
Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl will visit Auburn University this Wednesday for a unique campus event titled **“Challenge the Chairman,”** held in memory of conservative youth leader Charlie Kirk.
The event invites students from all political backgrounds to engage directly with Chairman Wahl in an open and respectful discussion about leadership, public policy, and the future of the nation, according to Wahl’s office.
Students attending will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their own views, and challenge Wahl on key issues that matter most to them—including education, the economy, free speech, and civic responsibility.
Chairman Wahl emphasized his strong belief in creating space for real dialogue on college campuses. He stated,
*“We need more leaders who are willing to engage with young people where they are—on campus, online, and in their communities. That includes talking with people who don’t see the world the same way I do. Our nation’s future depends on young Americans being able to exchange ideas freely, challenge each other respectfully, and work together to build a stronger country.”*
Wahl explained that the “Challenge the Chairman” initiative reflects his ongoing commitment to encouraging civic engagement and open communication among Alabama’s next generation of leaders. He also expressed hope that the event will demonstrate that the Republican Party welcomes discussion, debate, and diverse perspectives.
*“Events like this are about listening to and encouraging the next generation to get involved,”* Wahl added.
*“I want to hear directly from students—their hopes, frustrations, and ideas for the future. The Republican Party wants to share why our values best serve young people by helping them achieve greater freedom, opportunity, and long-term success. This is about empowering future generations to build strong, successful lives and a brighter future for our country.”*
He concluded by stressing the importance of inclusivity in political discourse on campuses:
*“Students today will inherit the decisions being made right now, and it’s important that every one of them—no matter their political viewpoint—feels they have a voice and a real stake in what comes next.”*
