November 4, 2008 is going to be a very unusual election - and not just for the obvious reasons.
Yes, Americans will choose between the first woman on the GOP ticket and the first African American on the Democrat ticket. However - and this is unprecedented - 30 Republican incumbents retired this year, leaving more than two dozen "open" seats.
What does this mean to the Republican Party?
Well, it means a combined 412 years of incumbency within the GOP is stepping down, to be replaced by a set of fresh faces.
This is very exciting for the future of our party. These are men and women who,much like Sarah Palin, are parents of young children and understand what it's like to balance family, career and public service.
The youngest Republican likely to join our ranks in November is Aaron Schock from Illinois. Aaron is 27-years old, and the youngest member to serve on his school board. Darren White from New Mexico was a Katrina rescue volunteer and served in the Army's 82nd Airborne. Jennifer Horn has five children, is an award-winning radio show host and active in her community.
Today, we want to introduce you to some of the fresh faces campaigning to represent us in Congress. They are independent voices who want to change business as usual. They are the men and women who
will go to Washington and fight alongside John McCain and Sarah Palin.
We're proud of our candidates and what they stand for, so get to know them today. We urge you to learn more about them, and after you've read about their background and campaign, please consider making a donation to their campaign.
