McTiernan Exploratory Committee hits the Net
A website for Erin McTiernan's CRNC Exploratory Committee went live this morning, in a sign that the New York State Chairman is more serious about her candidacy than first assumed by many. The placeholder page can be seen at One CRNC, a domain that was reportedly bought earlier in the week by McTiernan. Two other domains also redirect to the One CRNC site: The New CRNC and United CRNC. We will follow this as it develops, if necessary.

CRNC Election News & Notes
-We will be soon posting interviews with candidate for Michigan Fed. of College Republicans Chairman Steve Japinga, a Michigan State CR, and interim Texas Fed. of College Republicans Vice Chairman Justin Jordan in the coming days. The interview with Japinga should be up later this morning, and we are also in the process of interviewing Students for Brownback Chairman Billy Valentine. Stay tuned for these, and several more interviews in the pipeline over the coming weeks.
-In a move that has been expected for some time, Rhode Island's Ethan Wingfield endorsed Real Reform yesterday, releasing the following statement on his support:
“The biggest challenge the College Republicans face is not reforming its national committee. Our challenge is building an organizational infrastructure that will make it easier for Republicans to get elected. The common-sense goals of the Real Reform platform will streamline the organization, make it less succeptible (sic) to corruption, and will ultimately enable us to more effectively campaign on behalf of candidates we all want to see elected. That's why Rhode Island voted unanimously to support Real Reform.”
The endorsement makes formal what has been known for sometime, and there seems to be quite a bit of grassroots support for reform at the chapter level in Rhode Island. There are now 17 sitting state chairmen supporting Real Reform, and we keep hearing whispers of a major announcement coming from Real Reform principals Brian Siler and Brent Ludeman.
-Truth Caucus is reporting that New York's Erin McTiernan is exploring the possibility of the run for National Chairman. McTiernan is best known nationally for calling out Paul Gourley publicly over a few matters, most notably for the alleged subterfuge of a CRNC field rep in recruiting a registered Democrat to run a College Republican chapter in New York. New York has a long history of infighting, but it is a state who has been solidly in support of reform for some time. It, along with California, is a state notably absent from the supporters of Real Reform.
