Provided direct support and addressed a sensitive and difficult matter with CentCom on behalf of party volunteers and members.

In May 2018, I offered a stated goal of increasing delegate count with National by increasing state memberships to at least fifth place. In 7 months, memberships have gone up 45, approximately 8% since May. We moved from Number 7 in the country to Number 5. We are only 54 memberships from fourth place. We’ve just recently recruited an excellent Membership Coordinator who will take this effort to another level.
