YRNF Projects and Resolutions - Puerto Rican Statehood


Taylor Tomnitz, a senior real estate agent with Los Angeles-based D.R. Horton since 2011, participates in a variety of charitable and political initiatives. One organization Taylor Tomnitz is a member of is the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF), a political organization which consists primarily of Republican Party members between the ages of 18 and 40.

One major nationwide initiative the YRNF has been working on is the statehood of Puerto Rico, which it supported by passing a resolution in its favor in April of 2017. Despite the U.S. citizenship status of its residents, tradition of military service, and long history as an American territory, Puerto Rico has no representation in Congress and its people cannot cast votes for the presidency as a result.

The YRNF believes Puerto Rican statehood is consistent with Republican values such as individual liberty, personal rights, and inclusion, and that this move will help further include the Hispanic community of America in the country's political life. It joins other major Republican figures and organizations, including the Republican National Convention, President Donald J. Trump, and Vice President Mike Pence in its support of this initiative.

The Paws in the City's Guest Dog Program


Taylor Tomnitz earned a bachelor's degree in history from Loyola Marymount University. Now based in Los Angeles, California, she has established a career in the real estate industry and is currently a senior agent for the number one builder in the United States, D.R. Horton. Outside of her professional obligations, Taylor Tomnitz supports non-profit organizations such as Paws in the City

Paws in the City is a volunteer rescue organization serving the areas around Dallas and Fort Worth in Texas. Identifying itself as a no-kill organization, Paws in the City is committed to helping find new homes for all adoptable cats and dogs - and in the long run, end overpopulation, neglect, and abuse of cats and dogs within its scope of responsibility.

The organization administers several programs that aid it in achieving its goals, one of which is the guest dog program. The guest dog program provides an online avenue for people who have found a stray, as well as pet owners who are planning to rehome their pets, to announce that they have an animal available for adoption. However, there are several requirements before anyone is permitted to participate in the program. Current pet owners must be able to show their pets' up-to-date vaccination and spay/neuter records and be able to prove that their pets have been on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives.

After these requirements have been complied with, pet owners should then complete an information sheet that includes a write-up on a pet’s personality. A photo of the pet will then be posted on the site following a payment of $35. Adopters must exhibit that they have the capacity to care for an adopted pet.
