“Our program will recruit 50,000 new College Republicans and make 6 million voter contacts in swing states leading up to November 2012,” Alexander said. “We’re excited to welcome four more professional political operatives to the College Republican National Committee and look forward to the experience they bring to our team,” he continued.
