Fin de semaine

This afternoon, I was elected to the Grafton County Republican Committee as the Young Republican Representative, as well as selected as one of forty-seven representatives from the county to the NH Republican State Committee. This means I will be largely responsible for working closely with the rest of the Committee to enlarge the extent of youth participation in the political process, and especially facilitating a rapport between the County Committee and the local interests they represent and young people who are interested in becoming involved in the political process. Democracy in its purest form is found on the local level, and involving young people on this level is a great introduction to politics. I look forward to working with the rest of the committee on this, as well as the task of developing a strategy for the next two years, as we approach the midterm elections in 2006, as well as laying the groundwork for 2008.
