BPOU CHAIRMAN FROM 7A ENDORSES TEAM VERRY

Former College Republican at UMD Executive Board Member and Current BPOU Chairman Stands with
Verry.

Duluth, March 19th, 2011: Today the BPOU Chairman from house district 7A, Erik Leist, announced his support for Tyler
Verry and his run for re-eleciton. Leist was recently elected as BPOU chair and as a delegate to the State Central Convention on
behalf of his district. Formerly, he served as a College Republican at the University of Minnesota Duluth for four years during
which time he held many positions on the executive board. His hard work helped Duluth become recognized as the best chapter
in the state the last two years. He issues this letter in support:

“As a former member of the College Republicans at UMD, I witnessed firsthand the knowledge, hard work, and creativity shown
by both Tyler Verry and Ryan Lyk. Verry built the group into the most successful chapter in the state during his tenure as chair.
Lyk has continued to live up to the high standards set by his predecessor. 

During the past year, as Chair of the Minnesota College Republicans, Verry's leadership made the organization one of the most
integral parts of the wave of GOP candidates elected to office last November. Not only did he organize phone banking and lit
drops for candidates running in the metro area, but he also brought groups to campaign for Randy Demmer and Chip Cravaack.
Their help was instrumental in Cravaack's victory over 36 year incumbent Jim Oberstar.

Together, Verry and Lyk's dynamic leadership and dedication to success will continue to make the Minnesota College
Republicans one of the most active and effective affiliate organizations of the Republican Party of Minnesota. For these reason,
and far more, I ask you to join me in supporting the reelection of Tyler Verry as chair of the Minnesota College Republicans.

Erik Leist
Chairman
House District 7A BPOU Committee”
