MRP Treasurer Carl Meyers Considering Running for UM Regent Position


MRP Treasurer, and 2004 Republican UM Board of Regent Nominee Carl Meyers Sent the Following Letter out Yesterday in regards to his plans for 2008:

The elections in 2008 are critically important to all Republicans in Michigan. The security and direction of our country are at stake. We are all fortunate to have great Republicans candidates running for President. It’s going to be a real battle, but I’m confident we will deliver Michigan to all of the Republicans, from the top to the bottom of the ticket.

I also believe that is extremely important that we remain vigilant in electing Republicans to the University and State Education board seats down ticket. We must have a greater voice on these boards to ensure the proper education of our children. To accomplish this, we need to nominate and elect strong and experienced candidates. David Brandon is one such candidate that I will be supporting for the University of Michigan Board of Regents. Dave was a strong advocate on the Board while serving for eight years. His private and public sector experience will again be an asset to the U of M Board of Regents.

Due to the importance of the University and State Education board elections, I would like to share with you my plans for next year. In the event that Dave chooses not to run, I will seek the nomination for the University Of Michigan Board Of Regents in 2008. My experience with the process will be an asset in this endeavor. In 2004, I was unanimously nominated by the party to run for the Board. I went on to secure many editorial board endorsements, including the Detroit News, and ultimately received over 1.8 million votes. Though I did not win, I garnered tremendous experience, goodwill and name recognition that will enable me to hit the ground running in 2008.

Following the election of 2004, I further focused my efforts on the advancement of the Michigan Republican Party. I worked to elect our current Chairman, Saul Anuzis, served on the State Committee, was elected as Financial Council in 2005, and presently serve as Treasurer of the party. I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead and the opportunity to continue to serve.

Thank you for your continued support and friendship.

Best regards,


Carl Meyers
Treasurer, MRP
