Uniting Republicans is aim of new campus GOP leader
Daily Staff 3/14/08
Though he said it can be tough to be a Republican at the
University of Michigan, LSA sophomore Brady Smith, the new
chair of the University's chapter of College Republicans at
the University, likes the challenge.
Just because Democrats outnumber Republicans on campus doesn't
mean they can't get along and have a "thoughtful, comprehensive
exchange of ideas," Smith said.
"I have my ideas challenged here on a daily basis," Smith said.
"I believe that the best way to respect ideas is to challenge
them."
Smith was elected to chair the University's chapter of the
College Republicans earlier this month. His main goal as chair,
he said, is to unite the "bashful" and "scattered voices" of
Republicans on campus.
Smith called the University a "bastion of liberalism" in need
of conservative voices.
He said the College Republicans could fill that void.
