Carl Tate, Staunton Republican Committee’s Director of Minority Outreach, was profiled in the News Leader today. Outlining Tate’s political journey, beginning with his first Staunton Republican Committee meeting when he was 12, the reporter, Mindi Westhoff describes Tate’s involvement over the years:
“And involved he was. After a failed attempt at starting a Young Republicans group at Robert E. Lee, an unflustered Tate began helping with former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole’s presidential campaign at 15 and interned for U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-6th at 16.
As a freshman at Liberty University, Tate was elected president of the College Republicans and in just a few semesters, turned the 10-member group into an active organization of 50 on the 5,500-person campus.”
