Youth Vice Chair
Rylee Linting

Since being elected, Rylee Linting has appointed Rachel Warner as Deputy Youth Chair to ensure that all of Michigan’s youth is seen and taken care of. Rachel is a junior at Kellogg Community College where she has started a Turning Point Chapter and revitalized the previously dead College Republican Chapter. Rylee and Rachel have since drafted and began releasing an application for District Captains. District Captains will serve as an extension of the Youth Chair within their home district. This is a great opportunity for young conservatives to get involved and gain experience by networking within their district. Rylee and Rachel are looking forward to reviewing resumes and speaking with young leaders across the state in the upcoming weeks.

Coalitions Vice Chair
Hassan Nehme

I am honored to be serving as your Coalitions Vice Chair, and I wanted to take a moment to update you on our progress since the transition to the current administration. It has been a tough period for us as we essentially had to start fresh. However, I am proud to say that we have been making strides in organizing and structuring our party.
As we continue to work towards our goals, we ask for your patience during this transitional period. Rest assured that we are working hard to make our party the best it can be.
Personally, I have been focusing on networking with local organizations across the state, attending community events where Republicans have not made appearances before, and reaching out to different organizations and businesses to understand how we can gain their support.
I have also been working with multiple election integrity plans statewide that should be rolling out soon, as well as national organizations to gain some much-needed support for the upcoming elections. In addition, I have been working with potential candidates to get them ready for the elections. It is exciting to see people stepping up to challenge many local city positions this year.
As I dive deeper into this role, I am understanding the importance of putting our differences aside and looking at the bigger picture. Speaking with different districts across our state, I am realizing a pattern. We need to remember who the enemies are, and that we are standing up for God and country. We need to remember what makes our nation great. When our freedom is threatened, we stand up united and face the enemy together.
It is crucial that we stay focused on our values, beliefs, and mission. We have momentum, and people believe in us. Let us deliver a strong Republican Party that will work towards the betterment of our state and our nation.

    Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to updating you on our progress.

Administrative Vice Chair
Ali Hossein

As the Administrative Vice Chair of the party, I wanted to take a moment to update you all on our progress during this challenging transition period. It has been a tough time for us, as we essentially had to start from scratch and rebuild the party’s organization and structure.
We understand that this process may take some time, but we ask for everyone’s patience and support during this transitioning period. Rest assured, we are working diligently to get everything back on track. One of my main focuses during this time has been networking with local candidates across the state. I have been reaching out to different organizations and businesses to gain an understanding of where and how we can gain their support. We are also working on planning some exciting events for Mackinaw that should be rolling out soon.
Additionally, I have been working with national organizations to gain much-needed support for the upcoming election. We need to set up candidate events statewide, and we are excited to see people stepping up to challenge many local city positions in this year’s elections.
I am also working with some data analysts who are setting up a program to clean voter rolls and expose the problems with our state’s election process. This is a crucial step in ensuring fair and transparent elections for all Michiganders.
We understand the importance of this upcoming election, and we are working tirelessly to ensure that the Michigan Republican Party is ready to make a significant impact. We appreciate your continued support and commitment to the party.

Thank you all for your dedication to our cause. Together, we will make Michigan a better place for all.
