Good morning!
Tonight is our NH Young Republican E-board meeting at 6:30pm at Murphy's
Taproom on Elm Street in Manchester. All NH Young Republicans are invited.
We have a lot of things to talk about including upcoming special election
volunteer opportunities, the YR National Convention in July and other
events/activities we would like to work on in the coming months.
We also have a special guest tonight. Rachel Hoff is running for Chairman of
the Young Republican National Federation. She will be here to introduce
herself to the group and talk about her candidacy. I have included some more

officers will be at the Convention in July. We will discuss more about how
many voting members we can send and how you can become a voting member.

Rachel Hoff
Proven. Effective. Leadership.
Taking the YRNF to the Next Level.
It is a new day in the Republican Party.
The election of new RNC leadership signaled the commitment of the Republican
Party to define new goals, innovate strategies, and communicate a compelling
new conservative message to more people than ever before.
Our generation must lead our Party in creating new ideas and driving new
technologies while we reaffirm our commitment to conservative principles of
individual freedom, limited government, free enterprise, and personal
responsibility. We must help our Party develop 21st Century solutions to the
challenges we face. The Young Republicans must increase our influence,
engagement, and relevance to our Party and our generation.
To lead the Young Republicans to these new heights, I am proud to announce
the first candidates on a ticket with the professionalism, competence, and
experience to take the YRNF to the Next Level. It is with gratitude and a
desire to greater serve this organization that I announce my candidacy for
Chairman of the Young Republican National Federation.
The YRNF has made great strides toward establishing itself as both a
recognized political force and the authoritative voice of the young
conservative perspective in the media. But we have a long way to go to
achieve our potential. The YRNF must continue to build upon our success with
a renewed focus on building stronger state and local chapters, supporting
young candidates with volunteers, engaging new members of our generation
through cutting-edge technology, and raising the money needed to compete
against the well-funded Democrat campaign machine.
I have had the pleasure to work with hundreds of Young Republicans
throughout the country. We are united in the desire to move our Party
forward, re-affirm our commitment to conservative principles, and win
elections for Republicans. But with two candidates for National Chairman, it
is important that YRs in each state have the opportunity to get to know us
both and to evaluate our experience, our vision, and our leadership teams. I
hope that my opponent will join me in a debate of ideas about the future of
the YRNF, and I look forward to an honest and open discussion that will give
YRs time to make an informed decision about whom to support.
Over the next few weeks, we will be announcing the other members of our
leadership team and rolling out detailed strategic plans for implementing
our action items. Our goal is to engage you in a conversation about how to
make our organization better, so please feel free to reach out to me
directly (
rachel.hoff@gmail.com, 605.261.5341) or visit "Taking the YRNF to
the Next Level" on Facebook to learn more and contribute your ideas.
Let's join together and take the YRNF to the Next Level.
Sincerely,
Rachel Hoff
