A glimpse at the life of a CU College Republican

The presidential election is approaching and many students are passionately standing up for what they believe in. Prominent among them is Aslinn Scott, a 21-year-old junior communications major who is Vice Chair of the CU College Republicans.

CU College Republicans is comprised of approximately 75 members and has an email list of about 300. Participants regularly listen to speakers and hold discussions and debate.

The group’s goal is to provide a voice for fellow Republican students.

Aslinn has been a part of CU’s College Republicans since she was a freshman. Aside from College Republicans, she is also Vice Chair of the Colorado Federation of College Republicans, an active member of Boulder Students for Romney and Young Conservative Leaders of Colorado and a contributor to the Boulder County Republican Women’s website.

What originally motivated you to vote Republican?

Both of my parents are Republican and I noticed that most of the rhetoric surrounding business appeared hostile. Since I’m paying my own tuition, I’m more fiscally conservative. I believe in limited government, so I wanted to support it.

What do you do on a typical day for College Republicans?

My schedule is pretty random, but I frequently recruit members and volunteers. I go door-to-door to present conservative thought on campus. It’s all volunteer work. The election’s right now, so anything can happen.

Do you hold meetings with other college Republicans?

Yes. There are regular meetings every other Tuesday, with the next one on Oct. 9 in UMC 445. We will be hosting Herman Cain here on that day.
