PHC College Republicans help defeat an incumbent Democrat Congressman

One of the top activities for the PHC College Republicans this year was stafing and directing the Student Action Teams run by Generation Joshua. One of the teams campaigned for Pete Olson in TX-22. This was Tom Delay's former seat which the Democrats won in 2006. The Generation Joshua team lead by PHC College Republicans helped Pete Olson win his seat by 5 points.
This team was directed by Joey Alm, and lead by Ben Rogers, Rachel Reiley, Jenna Lorence, and Josh McKnight. One of the moms who participated in the Student Action Team created a blog which shares some stories of the campaign, and includes a photo gallery.

Thank You

Happy New Year!! Today marks the beginning of 2009. It is a year with difficult challenges, and amazing opportunities.

The New Year is always a time for reflection, and I want to briefly reflect on last year. We were blessed as a club to have Nicole Forcine as our chairman, and she will be missed as we go forward. In a year that was difficult for Republicans everywhere, Nicole helped build this club. She was willing to work with people who disagreed with her, and she took significant amounts of time to work to avoid difficult situations. She was patient and didn't easily show it if she got stressed out. Under her leadership, the club organized a trip to the March for Life last January, brought Star Parker to campus, organized a trip to the McCain/Palin rally in Fairfax last September, and sent over 80 members to lead Generation Joshua's Student Action Teams during the week before the election--and these are only the highlights of last year's activities. Thank you for yoru work as chair over the past year Nicole, and may God continue to bless your endeavors as you graduate and move on from college.
