What is your favorite MavPAC memory?
My favorite memory took place during 2019 MAVCON in NYC when I had the opportunity to tour the 9/11 Museum with Congressman Kelly Armstrong (ND). It was a great opportunity to speak candidly with the Congressman; sharing ideas around policy and current events.
What makes MavPAC special?
What makes MavPAC special is how it not only operates democratically as a PAC in support of certain candidates but also serves as a national network for like-minded young conservative business leaders. It’s hard to find another organization like it.
Favorite rising GOP star?
I can’t choose just one – Tim Scott and Beth Van Duyne.
