BCYRs: New Leadership

There's new leadership of the Blue Chip Young Republicans. In an election Monday night, members chose Jeff Capell as chairman. He's the guy who had words with Sheriff Simon Leis during the campaign about the jail tax. He defeated chairwoman Nickell Marsland.

Also elected: Jason Gloyd, chairman of WeDemandABetterPlan.com, the coalition that helped defeat the tax increase. He's the group's new secretary, defeating Corie Roudebush.

Other officers: vice chairman Collin Rink; treasurer Mark Imwalle, who ran unopposed; at at-large officers David Kern and Ron Richmond.

Capell said he, Gloyd, Kern and Richmond ran as a slate.

The group started in 1988, campaigning that year for Steve Chabot as its first project.
