"They're the get out the vote people--they work hard, they're dedicated. Sometimes I think they put us older Republicans to shame, so I really want to work closely with the College Republicans here at Northern to make sure that we're doing them justice, keeping them busy, keeping them involved and helping grow their organization as well as ours," said Mackin.
Mackin will serve as the GOP chairman for the next two years.
