Derek Hall’s credentials

*This look at what Derek Hall did as KY Chairman. It is pieced together from sources in Kentucky and accounts from others. I put this together in a hurry this morning per the request of one of the posters. I had planned on doing some larger research and possibly trying to get an interview with Derek if enough support was garnered. So I encourage you to post on here, email, call, and facebook Derek.


Derek was Chairman of the Kentucky Federation of College Republicans from August 2004 until April 2005. During this time he took a group of loosely affiliated college groups that had no money or structure and turned them into a recognized and respected force in Kentucky’s political scene.

The organization was left for dead with no money in the bank. However, he was able to take 12 small chapters worked with them on an individual basis strengthening their membership. A source said, “(Derek) realized that he couldn’t save the KFCR in one swoop, he had to strengthen local chapters first, work on growing membership around the state, and cultivate party connections.” He was able to establish 10 more chapters (in 2005 a non election year), and institute a Field Rep program for his state with a limited budget. He was able to stretch every penny and make it count.

As I posted above, this is a small, pieced together account of what Derek did as Chairman.

Well then maybe New York will have a candidate to support; not to mention a few other states that are looking for a TRUE REFORM candidate at the top of the ticket. Not a candidate that voted Gourely into office!
