That was one of the many interesting points made by Reince Priebus, state chairman of the Wisconsin GOP, who was featured today in a great article in the JS about the future of the Republican Party.

He talks about the need to reach out to young conservatives, his exciting experience helping electing former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele Chairman of the RNC, the state GOP’s plans to retake the state Senate, and the vulnerability of Gov. Doyle heading into 2010, among other things.

A past Happy Hour speaker, those of you who have had the opportunity to meet Reince know that he is an energetic leader with great ideas.  Wisconsin is lucky to have a conservative state GOP chairman who both understands the challenges the Party faces and at the same time realizes that there is an opportunity to reach out to those voters searching for conservative alternatives to “tax and spend” Democrats, both at the state and national level.
