Roanoke College Republicans excited for Rubio visit

On Sunday, Roanoke College will be home to one of Marco Rubio’s campaign stops.

The Bast Center may be a gym now, but come Sunday, it’ll be the only place sophomore Alex Boone wants to be.

Alex Boone, Chair, Students for Rubio, Roanoke College, said, “We just can’t wait. Only a couple more days to go. ”

In fact, he can’t quite believe Marco Rubio will be right in his backyard at the Bast Center.

Boone said, “When we found out, I was sitting in class and I probably had about 20 text messages and my phone was going off all class long.”

Dakota Tomlin, Vice Chair, Students for Rubio, said, “My phone has been blowing up ever since the announcement came for people wanting to know what’s happening.”
