 In a display of unity, three states have come together to endorse Nicolee Ambrose for YRNF Chairman and the Team Ambrose ticket. The key states of California, Florida, and Michigan have joined together in a show of solidarity to unite the Young Republican National Federation behind Team Ambrose.
“Our message and our team are receiving overwhelming support from coast to coast,” Ambrose commented when learning of the endorsement. “The support we are receiving from state leaders and rank-an-file YRs is exciting. We’re honored that California, Florida, and Michigan have joined in our effort to unite the YRNF and advance the Republican Party’s agenda.”
These great states represent 165 votes that will be cast at the Young Republican National Convention this July 9th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“While we are obviously thrilled with this news and gratified that California, Florida, and Michigan believe in Nicolee’s leadership, our goal remains to win support from every state federation,” Co-Chair candidate Tim Kolpien said. “We won’t slow down and we will compete for every vote at the convention. The Team Ambrose campaign will keep moving forward to reach out to YRs nationwide. We need talented YRs from all states to be involved.”
California, Florida, and Michigan join Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee as states that have officially endorsed Nicolee Ambrose. Many others have pledged support to be made official later this spring.
