Red State Rising, Details Fleshing Out for Second CCR Slate
As reported in an earlier post, a second slate is forming to challenge Michael Antonopoulos and Revolutionize CCR for leadership of California College Republicans. The earlier post included a rough sketch of the expected opposition slate. Now we can flesh it out in more detail, and clarify positions that have tentatively been confirmed by TDR sources. There is a pending website launch for RedStateRising.org, and a press release expected soon. Here is the slate as we know it:
Positions confirmed by our sources:
Adam Ellison, Pacific – Chairman
Ben Myers, USC – Co-Chair
Wade Holden, Pacific – Admin Vice-Chair
Misty Tienken, Grossmont – Treasurer
Alvaro Day, UCLA – Secretary
Nick Pagnucci, SFSU – Bay Area Regional Vice-Chair
Brenna Miller, UCI – Southern Regional Vice-Chair
Unconfirmed positions:
Ryan McNicholas, UCSB – Executive Director
Marshall Roe, PCC – LA Regional Vice-Chair
Changes from the last published slate: Ben Myers is now co-chair, Sidney Hilario is no longer on the slate (as far as we know), and Matthew Schenk is no longer listed for an elected position.

UPDATE: CR Nation: Press Release Announcing Ellison’s candidacy. CR Nation is calling Ellison the third candidate in the race, but TDR sources confirm that there is not a new ticket. Ellison is running for chair on the previously announced second slate. Also, the press release says RedStateRising.org will not be up until early February.

The most qualified should win; and in politics, often the most qualified have the best connections. I hope the winner has great connections because it means they’ve been talking to CRs, and that CRs can talk to them. I don’t understand how someone can run for a statewide position if nobody knows them.
[...] Adam Ellison. As of last night the final slate is up on the Red State Rising Facebook group. Our previous list was pretty accurate, but here is the full [...]
