College Republicans: "We Are the Foot Soldiers of the Republican Party"

By Alex Laska

The GW College Republicans are gearing up for a busy semester, with two gubernatorial elections coming up this November in Virginia and New Jersey.

Andrew Clark, Communications Director for the CR’s, said that the organization is, “leading campaign trips into Northern Virginia every weekend to volunteer for [candidate Bob McDonnell]. We are also getting involved with the RNC’s deployment in the days before Election Day. We are hosting a campaign trip to New Jersey in October to work for [Republican candidate] Chris Christie.”

Clark said that the CR’s will be promoting, “limited government, consumer-oriented answers instead of government-oriented answers to America’s problems, a strong and assertive foreign policy, and upholding a national culture that respects life.”

“We bring these values to campus and actively promote them,” said Clark. “We are the foot soldiers of the Republican Party, volunteering for campaigns, holding debates on campus, and pursuing a conservative agenda.”
