Samantha Hill

Samantha is a senior at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, with an individualized major in applied politics and a minor in aviation.  She is the oldest of five children, from the small town of Holden, Missouri, and received her entire pre-college education at home.  Her involvement in College Republicans began as a freshman during the 2004 election season, while also working as a field coordinator for the RNC.  She became western director as a sophomore, moving on to be executive director and vice-chair before becoming chairlady in May 2007.  Traveling extensively during the 2006 cycle, she helped to build up local chapters and boost recruitment and growth statewide to unprecedented levels while carrying a full class load.  Now part-time work with the 31^st district senate campaign keeps her busy, as well as the job she has held for three years at a livestock auction near her home.  She expects after graduation to move into full-time campaign work, with a future in campaign consulting and management.  Her rather varied interests include people, animals, music, books, baking, football and fine chocolate.  “I believe in the power of this organization to equip young leaders to maintain our conservative values.  I am committed to the strength of hard work fueled by convictions and ideals.  And I am just thrilled to be a part of this growing, lively team that helps drive me to greater personal achievements every day!”
