In January 2008, I took a video journalism class covering the Presidential primaries and the impact of youth on the 2008 election. We traveled to New Hampshire for 5 days to cover their Presidential Primary and topics relevant to the class. My group followed the 23-year old Executive Director of the New Hampshire State Republican Party (and AU alum) through his duties during the "first in the nation" primary.

Featuring appearances, speeches and a few (very) quick interviews with John McCain, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rudy Guiliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, and Bob Schieffer, this 5-minute video showcases a rising star of the Republican party set against the backdrop of one of the most important and hard fought primaries in history.
