Rob Frost Advances to ‘On the Radar’
Ohio Republican Candidate Takes Big First Step to Achieving ‘Young Gun’ Status
Washington — The National Republican Congressional Committee today announced Rob Frost as an ‘On the Radar’ candidate, the important first step in the ‘Young Guns’ program. Founded during the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI), the ‘Young Guns’ program is a Member-driven effort that is the primary method for recruiting strong candidates for both open-seat and challenger races. Frost is running for Ohio’s Tenth Congressional District.
“We are looking forward to working with Rob Frost, who has already proven himself by meeting rigorous benchmarks in the ‘Young Guns’ program that will position his campaign for victory,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX). “Rob Frost’s dedication and experience enables him to advocate effectively for pro-growth policies and fight the failed Democrat status quo in Washington. This will stand in stark contrast to the Democrats’ record of spending, borrowing and taxing that Ohio families and small businesses know has failed.”
Specifically, the ‘Young Guns’ program encourages candidates who have proven their ability to meet crucial campaign benchmarks to develop their campaigns further in order to achieve victory on Election Day. In achieving ‘On the Radar’ status, Frost has met the first set of these organizational and fundraising benchmarks and has already begun to establish himself as a strong contender. Frost will now work toward even higher goals that will help him advance in the ‘Young Guns’ program and build an effective, winning campaign.
Rob Frost, who is running on a platform of job creation and growth, stands for cutting government spending while maintaining a strong national defense. He was one of the earliest voices to speak out in the county against wasteful government spending. Frost is currently the Chairman of the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County, a position he has held since January of 2005. In the past six years, Frost has stood up to entrenched, corrupt political bosses while helping to build a bipartisan coalition of business, civic and political leaders to reform Cuyahoga County government.
