Students to lead Maryland College Dems and Republicans
Last weekend, two Hopkins students were elected to officer positions in the statewide organizations for College Democrats and Republicans.
Junior Evan Lazerowitz and freshman Ariela Fleisig were elected as chairman of the Maryland College Republicans and vice president of College Democrats of Maryland, respectively.
Lazerowitz, who will take office as Chairman on May 1, has previously served as president of the Hopkins chapter of College Republicans, executive vice chairman of the Maryland College Republican and chairman of the College Republicans in the Baltimore area.
His responsibilities in this new position will include representing Maryland in the National College Republicans organization and overseeing the state college chapters.
He is also responsible for dealing with other organizations such as the GOP of Maryland, and the national GOP.
"It was the natural progression for me," Lazerowitz said of his decision to run for chairman. "It will be my senior year, and I would really like to accomplish something with the College Republicans."
As chairman, Lazerowitz's main goal is to increase communication among the 10 existing chapters in Maryland. In order to do this, Lazerowitz has been hoping to maybe get the chapters to communicate through Web chatting or even through Skype.
In addition, Lazerowitz says that he believes that fixing up the Maryland College Republicans' Web site would greatly improve chapter communication as well. The site is interactive, and he feels that through its improvement, he can more easily spread the word of events and activities that the College Republicans run.
He also hopes to continue to make sure that all chapters continue to run smoothly during the year and that they continue to recruit new and productive members.
He also plans to work on general recruitment and increase the number of chapters in the state.
"I've been elected in an off year," Lazerowitz said. "There is no election in the coming academic year, so we can work on building up some infrastructure for the next statewide election, which is the governor election in November of 2010."
