CAMPO YMCA Youth in Government club

Having young people involved in the Putnam Campaign is of the utmost importance as they are the future leaders of our state and nation. One special group of young volunteers is the CAMPO YMCA Youth in Government club. These students have been a tremendous asset to many conservative candidates in the Central Florida region and we are honored to have them as a part of the Putnam Team. Many of the group members came out to walk with the Putnam float during the recent Florida Strawberry Festival Grand Parade. Each student is bright, well mannered and dedicated to strengthening Florida politics. We appreciate the efforts of this Youth in Government club and look forward to working with them more as the campaign charges ahead.

Noles for Adam Putnam

The Noles for Adam Putnam Group has gotten off to a great start on the campaign trail thanks to the leadership of Emily Buckley, Brent Lowman and Megan Duda. These three volunteers have helped to spearhead the Noles’ efforts and bring even more of the Putnam campaign to the FSU campus and beyond. Emily, a political science and criminology major, Brent, a student in FSU’s College of Law and, Megan, who’s studying for her master’s in public administration, have all helped to grow Noles for Adam Putnam. Just this past week, they organized a meet and greet event with Adam so that students had a chance to learn more about the campaign.
