Vision
Western Massachusetts is a region of our state that has the most potential and needs the most attention. Throughout my term, I plan to ensure that our section of the state unites and prospers. Primarily, we need to focus on the growth of our existing clubs and forming a strong confederacy between our organizations. By taking a hands-on approach, I will get our clubs talking and working with one another more frequently. My developing relationship with members of the MACR will enable me to be a reliable representative who will be used to ensure open communication and dependable information. Beyond existing clubs, I have recognized a number of western Massachusetts campuses that have the potential to produce strong College Republican clubs. I plan to work with interested Republicans on these campuses to develop new clubs that will strengthen both our region and the MACR.
I am an enthusiastic Republican who is excited about taking on the responsibilities of western vice chairman. Our region consists of some of the most dedicated Republicans I have ever met and I look forward to interacting with the Republicans in western Massachusetts who have been working so diligently. Without our individual clubs, most of our campuses might not have a Republican voice. My goal is to ensure this voice is not lost on any campus in western Massachusetts.
