Columbia, SC-The South Carolina College Republicans Federation held their Annual State Convention 8:30am Saturday morning in Columbia, SC at the Holiday Inn Express Fort Jackson. Delegates from fourteen schools around the state unanimously elected Karlen Senn, a current Junior at Converse College, to serve as the State Chairwoman of the SCCRF for the 2010-2011 term. William Sturm from Clemson was elected the Vice Chairman for his second term. Sally Atwater from Furman was elected to serve another year as State Secretary, and Mason Sullivan from the Citadel was elected as State Treasurer.
The keynote speaker at the convention was Attorney General and Gubernatorial candidate Henry McMaster. Leighton Lord, Alan Wilson, Robert Bolchoz, Eleanor Kitzman, and Ken Ard also addressed the student organization that has grown from six to eighteen chapters this year. Jay W. Ragley, Adam Piper, and Kurt Pickhardt spoke on behalf of the SCGOP.
This year College Republicans grew from six to eighteen campuses across South Carolina, connected students to volunteer and intern with candidates across the state, volunteered for Bob McDonnell in Virginia, and established themselves on a national level with the College Republicans National Committee. More importantly, the CRs have formed relationships with the SCGOP and groups around the state such as the Young Republicans. Relationships amongst all conservative groups in SC are important to build in order to bridge the generation gap within our Party with the goal of putting Republican candidates in office. The SCCRF hopes to continue building sustainable chapters and to drive student participation, voting, and volunteering for a GOP victory in 2010 and beyond.
