This weekend, Andrew Clark was elected Chairman of the Arizona College Republicans. The outgoing Chairman, Matt Wharton, supported Ry Ellison.
As of several days ago, “committed” delegate counts stood at a tie (22 to 22) and reports had the vote going down to the wire. Rumor had it that Lance Robinson and Benjamin Stuart were only undecided votes and thus had the power to determine the outcome of the election.
Well, the outcome is as follows:
Chair: Andrew Clark
Vice-Chair Chapter Relations: Jessica Bender
Vice-Chair Finance: Mike Bolitho
Secretary: Coty Mckenzie
Going forward, Arizona College Republican Joshua Turner writes:
It is now time to put aside the negativity of the past few weeks and rebuild. It must be remembered that we are the party of Washington, Madison, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Reagan. We can no longer afford to stoop to the level of our opponents but we must be willing to mend fences and begin rebuilding. Congrats to all the candidates and thank you to the past board.
If anyone has the vote count, I would like to know that. Also, if anyone has the scoop on how Lance and Ben voted, I would like to hear about that too. Feel free to leave a comment or to email us at crnation@gmail.com.
Oh, I almost forgot, I am also waiting on a more detailed report from an Arizona contact, so this will most likely be a preliminary taste of what happened in Arizona this weekend. Check back later for more details.
