Homepage News Feed / NRCC Selects Gibbs to Start ‘Young Guns’ ProgramLAKEVILLE, OH – Senator Bob Gibbs, candidate for Congress in Ohio’s 18th District, announced today that he has been selected by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) to be a part of their Young Guns program. Young Guns is a program utilized by the NRCC to assist top tier candidates in some of the country’s most targeted seats.
“Being selected to start the Young Guns program means that we’re making serious progress in our campaign,” said Gibbs. “Throughout the district our message is taking hold that we won’t stand for Zack Space voting to support the job killing Capand‐Trade bill and we won’t stand for him voting for a budget with a $1.4 trillion deficit.”
The Young Guns program sets aggressive goals for fundraising, volunteer recruitment and general voter outreach that will help the campaign to push an aggressive message and eventually be successful in November of 2010. Citing the Young Guns program and Gibbs' candidacy for Congress, NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions said, "These candidates have become formidable contenders by meeting the rigorous goals laid out by the Young Guns program and putting in place the pieces for a winning campaign."
“I’m glad that we are being recognized by the NRCC for our hard work here in the district, but we couldn’t have had such a successful start if it weren't for the people in the 18th district and their generous contribution of time to our campaign efforts,” commented Gibbs on his support. “We have an extremely motivated group of people who agree with me that it is time for a change in the 18th District.”
Gibbs joins approximately 30 other Republican candidates for Congress throughout the United States who are beginning the first step of the Young Guns program. Gibbs and others have started on step 1 (of 3) which is titled “On the Radar” where by the campaigns have to reach certain fundraising thresholds and prove that they are a well organized and well funded candidate. The remaining two steps come as the campaign season progresses into 2010 and depend on various benchmarks such as volunteer recruitment, fundraising and general campaign progress.
