CRU was established in 2018 by former members of the ASU College Republicans who left the organization due to concerns over leadership corruption. The formation of CRU was supported by faculty advisor Donald Critchlow, who named the group College Republicans United as a conservative alternative to the original College Republicans. Shortly after its founding, Charles Loftus became the permanent faculty advisor.
