We are thrilled to announce our two newest NFRA Vice Presidents: Ambassador Ken Blackwell and former U.S. Senate nominee Sharron Angle!
These heroes of the conservative cause are longtime supporters and members of the Republican Assembly movement. But today, they take their places in the formal leadership of the NFRA, America’s only conservative group dedicated entirely to reforming the Republican Party and taking it back for its overwhelming conservative majority.
That is why Ken Blackwell has joined the NFRA leadership as Executive Vice President.
Ken Blackwell served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, Undersecretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mayor of Cincinnati and Ohio Secretary of State before running for Ohio Governor in 2006. He is currently Vice Chairman of the Republican National Committee’s Platform Committee and Senior Fellow for Family Empowerment at the Family Research Council. He serves on the boards of the Club for Growth and the National Taxpayers Union and is a member of the National Rifle Association’s public affairs committee. Amb. Blackwell is a noted columnist, commentator, and leader of the effort to reform the Republican Party.
And Tea Party hero Sharron Angle is joining our team as Western Region Vice President.
Sharron Angle, a lifelong educator, is most recognized for her 2010 campaign to oust Senator Harry Reid. She began her career in public office on the Nye County School Board, and fought to protect the Constitution as a member of the Nevada State Assembly, for which she received the Claremont Institute Ronald Reagan Freedom Medallion. Sharron is dedicated in her outreach to the Tea Parties, and recently completed a tour with the Tea Party Express “Reclaiming America Presidential Tour”. She is a longtime member of the Republican Assembly movement, and we were among her first endorsers for U.S. Senate.
Ken and Sharron have worked side by side with us for years. Now they have stepped forward to help lead us to victory in 2012 and beyond. A new day — and a new conservative Republican Party — begins here.
For Freedom,
Rod D. Martin
President, National Federation of Republican Assemblies
