Though I don't like the party, it'll be amusing to have an RPFer as a GOP insider. ;) Let's have our own "Operation Chaos" with Matt as one of our key agents on the ground! :D;)

Ron Paul-Republican making run at Davidson GOP chair
County Republicans select party officers Saturday at their biannual reorganization meeting. And one young local party-chair candidate says now’s the time for bold new blood and brash new perspectives and directions -- that is, if the party has plans to compete nationally again anytime soon against activist-government progressivism.

Twenty-seven-year-old Matt Collins, a sound engineer and producer at Supertalk 99.7 WTN, said the 2008 presidential election showed in rather stark terms that the GOP needs to start embracing a “younger, more philosophically-motivated” brand of “limited-government conservatism” of the sort Ron Paul aroused during his primary run last year.


So it looks like he is running for the county GOP chair position.

Also in that article are some positive comments from the outgoing chairman:


Outgoing Davidson County GOP chairman Tom Lawless told Examiner.com he won’t officially endorse a favorite in the race to succeed him. But Lawless said he’s long believed expanding the party base to include new voters and new demographics will require new leaders with new visions.

Collins appears to fit the mold, said Lawless.

“The party needs to get younger and it needs to get more inclusive,” said Lawless. “(Starnes) is clearly a status-quo candidate, and she’d be the pick of the older generation that currently has the reins of power. But you’ve got to pass those reins at some point. I recognized very early in Matt the strength of his energies and of his traditional conservative beliefs that go back, not just to the ideas of Ronald Reagan, but to the ideas of the Founding Fathers. Matt has exhibited to me some extremely good leadership qualities in a very, very short period of time.”


Good luck Matt!

What Republican group are we talking about? Is this, like a county? City? Precint(s)? Other? Just curious. This may be the way that the RP Revolution wins and captures the hearts and minds of the majority!

Thank you Matt!
