Laura Meyer

Hi, my name is Laura Meyer, and I’m currently a senior at Saint Louis University. I originally hail from the state of Ohio, but lately it’s become a blue state, and I decided I needed a change. What better place to move to than Missouri, where people are proud to be Republican and are not afraid to show it! Why else would it be called the “Show Me State”? I started at Saint Louis University in the fall of 2004, and after volunteering on the 72-hour campaign for Bush-Cheney, I was hooked on politics. However, it was not until my sophomore year that I began to become more involved, serving as secretary for my school’s chapter, a job that I still hold today.

Most say I am a people-person, and I guess that’s true, because I always love meeting new people! In my free time I work for a catering company, and the ability to meet new people every night gives me so much satisfaction. And I never know whom I am going to meet. One time, we catered a private donor party for Mitt Romney, and my boss, knowing what a huge Republican I am, placed me in the same small room as Romney and the big donors during the private cocktail hour. I was on cloud nine most of the night, hanging out with some of the biggest names in St. Louis Republican politics, as well as Governor Blunt and one of my idols, Senator Jim Talent.

I feel so blessed to be a part of the executive board this school year, and it is my hope that we will strengthen this organization in the coming months to prepare for an exciting November!
