College Republicans Elect Leadership

Monday night the College Republicans here at The George Washington University gathered at 1957 E Street to select their leadership for the 2010-2011 school year. Candidates gave two-minute speeches before answering a series of questions raised by members of the audience.

Jake Wolf, the winning candidate for chairman, the highest position in the organization, emphasized his experience, previously serving as treasurer for two years. He also was active in organizing trips and coordinating events. Wolf’s goals include reaching out to conservative students and increasing the number of speakers for the College Republicans.

His opponent, Cynthia Meyer, attempted to “set herself apart” from Wolf during her campaign. She stressed the importance of the array of contacts she possesses, while discussing her plans for various new programs, such as a military outreach program.

Will Frey, the winner in the vice chairman election, effectively second in command of the College Republicans, discussed transparency and reform. He emphasized making the group more accountable while simultaneously expanding the organization.

His opponent, Rob Noel, discussed his previous service and membership. His goals, he explained, were to reach out to the College Republican alumni, the Student Association, and the general student body. 

All candidates discussed, albeit briefly, their criticisms of the Obama administration and the Democratic controlled Congress, while highlighting their hopes for a conservative future.

Other winners included Kevin Dore as secretary, Brandon Neuman as treasurer, Chris Oman as political affairs Director, Eva Hanson as membership director, Kaitlyn Martin as publications director, and Sinead Casey as public relations director.
