Jeff Perry Advances to Top Level of Young Guns Program
Massachusetts Republican Reaches ‘Young Gun’ Status with Clear Path to Victory

Washington– The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced today that Jeff Perry (MA-10) has reached ‘Young Gun’ status, the premiere level of its three-tiered Young Guns program. By advancing to the program’s top tier, Perry has proven his ability to build a winning campaign and achieve substantial fundraising goals.

“Jeff Perry has proven that he’s ready to take on his partisan challenger, who would quickly fall in line with his Washington leaders’ failed agenda of job-killing policies and reckless spending,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX). “Jeff’s campaign is a symbol of the growing momentum behind Republican candidates across the country, even in blue states like Massachusetts. As Democrats and their party bosses continue to force their big-government, big-spending policies onto the backs of hard-working families, leaders like Jeff Perry will continue to present a clear alternative to a Democrat majority that unapologetically spends too much, borrows too much and taxes too much.”

Jeff Perry is proudly serving his fourth term as a Massachusetts State Representative for the Fifth Barnstable District, where he served alongside his friend and now United States Senator Scott Brown. In addition to representing the Fifth Barnstable District, Perry is a partner at the law firm of Flannigan and Perry P.C., having earned his Juris Doctorate Degree from the New England School of Law where he was presented with the prestigious Dean Timothy J.Cronin, Jr. Award for his outstanding public service. In addition to his work as an attorney and public servant, Perry teaches at Cape Cod Community College.

Originally founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI) as a member-driven organization, the Young Guns program has become an official NRCC effort dedicated to electing open-seat and challenger candidates nationwide. Reps. Cantor, McCarthy and Ryan remain actively involved in Young Guns, working together to recruit and prime conservative leaders for victory.

Now that Jeff Perry has completed the Young Guns’ benchmarks to place him on the road to victory, he is ready to take on his Democrat opponent in November.
