MCTIERNAN AND AIKIN ENDORSE SCOTT JEFFERS FOR CENTRAL DEPUTY VC

Below is a bio of Scott Jeffers, candidate for Central Deputy Vice Chairman:

Scott Jeffers originally hails from the small upstate N.Y. city of Johnstown where he developed strong Republican leanings at an early age. Johnstown, a small but historically significant city, was hard hit economically under the hash regime of Mario Cuomo and Scott can still remember going to his 4th Grade teachers and telling them to vote for Pataki in the 1994 governor’s race just because he knew that the “R” under Pataki’s party identification meant “right, relief, and recovery.” He has been a staunch Republican ever since and after graduating from Johnstown Senior High School in 2002, Scott brought his Republican belief system to central New York.
Scott has been a member of the SUNY Cortland College Republicans since its birth at C-State in the fall of 2003. Since then Scott has held just about every position the club could offer, starting as Parliamentarian and then moving on to hold the duel position of Public Relations and Treasurer before finally becoming chair in the fall of 2005. Deciding to stay involved, even as a graduate student, Scott has seen to it that the College Republicans are leaders on campus and control a number of important student committees. Scott has also made the C-State College Republicans a vocal tool for the “silent majority” of conservative students by sponsoring a number of speakers and events throughout the year in order to raise awareness of the prevailing liberal bias on SUNY Cortland’s campus.
Scott has been a student at SUNY Cortland since the fall of 2002 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Social Studies/History. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree and expects to graduate in the fall/spring of 2008. Scott is a member of the Fulton County Republican Committee as well as the Cortland County Republican Committee and has done volunteer campaign work for State Senator James Seward, State Assemblyman Gary Finch, former Congressman Sherwood Boehlert, former Congressional candidate Ray Meier, Johnstown Mayor Sarah Slingerland, and has worked on a number of Cortland/Fulton County supervisory/legislative and city council races.
Scott resides in Cortland, N.Y. and looks forward to further helping the all NYSCR chapters and the CR State Committee make a difference one campus at a time.

CAITLIN SCHOLL FOR STATE SECRETARY

Fellow New York College Republicans,

This past year has been a great time for the New York College Republicans. Under the leadership of Chairwoman McTiernan we were able to rebuild this organization into one that finally is respected among our elected officials as well as the leaders of our party. Although we have accomplished great things this year there is still a great deal more to be done and that is why I have decided to run for New York College Republican Secretary. As Secretary I will continue to help our organization grow as well as maintaining to work hard to get Republicans elected!

I have been active within the College Republicans since my freshman year at the University at Albany, which is where I became the Chairwoman of their College Republican Club in 2005. At last years State College Republican Convention Chairwoman McTiernan appointed me to the position of Executive Director. As, Executive Director I helped to organize state meetings as well as events, which includes the 1st Annual “Steamrolling” Cocktail reception. Finally, in February I became Acting Secretary of the NYCRSC. As Acting Secretary I helped Chairwoman McTiernan put together New York’s trip to CPAC 2007, which included over 100 New York College Republicans!

CPAC 2007 is a great example of the state-wide camaraderie and communication that has occurred this year. I want this to continue and I believe that we can bring even more clubs down to Washington, D.C. and make New York’s presence at CPAC even bigger next year!

I hope that you will support me in my bid for re-election as the NYCRSC Secretary. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email or call me at any time!



Sincerely,
Caitlin B. Scholl
Candidate for NYCRSC Secretary
