Both the GW College Republicans and College Democrats held their Executive Board elections for next year recently, with the CR’s to be led by Chairman Brandon Hines, and the CD’s being headed by Peter Weiss.Both incoming E-Boards have extensive goals for their organizations for next year.
Weiss says that he plans to “continue the success of our chapter by offering the proven programming of years past and by initiating new programs to enhance the College Democrats. I will place particular emphasis on public education programming with the understanding that the success of our progressive moment depends on our members’ ability to clearly and effectively articulate the values we stand for.” He says that he will accomplish this by “creating a College Democrats lobbying team that will be extensively trained through ‘issue workshops.’”
Weiss also said that the CD’s next year will “campaign extensively for Democratic candidates in New Jersey and Virginia. Members can also look forward to more events simply designed to foster a sense of community around the organization.”
Emma Carpenter, who was just elected as Political Affairs Director after spending a year as a Freshman Representative for the CD’s, said “Hopefully we will get multiple opportunities to lobby on the Hill as well. I also want to launch more caucuses that mirror the College Democrats of America caucuses like a GLBT caucus or a women's caucus. I'm really excited for next year and I can't wait to see what we can do as an organization.”
Incoming CR Vice-Chairman Tayler Lofquist said she plans to help the CR’s “expand our membership, increase our external communications, campaign successfully whenever we are called to do so, and continue to be the leading voice for the conservative movement on campus.”
Other plans for the CR’s next year include, according to Lofquist, “alumni relations and more creative membership outreach, among other things.”
“It is an exciting time to be a Republican on a college campus, and I am looking forward to whatever comes our way next year,” she said.
