Thursday night, UT College Republicans had the honor of hosting our very own UTCRs alum Derek Merrin in an exciting meeting discussing his life story, his time at UT in College Republicans, his experience as the Mayor of Waterville and as a State Representative, as well as his plan for the future running for US Congress in the OH-9 district to defeat Marcy Kaptur. We are energized and ready to help him in his fight to lower taxes, create better legislation, and to Make America Great Again! Thanks for coming back to campus!
