Ladies and Gentlemen:
I write today to share my experience with Ryan Neil Lund over the past two years.
I had the pleasure of working directly with Ryan during his involvement with the
Rhode Island Republican Party as well as the Hinckley for Senate campaign.
Having served as the Political Director and Executive Director of the Republican
Governors' Association, I have a unique perspective on Republican political
innovation, campaign stratery and national party committee management.
Republican governorships increased from 17 to 32 dunng my tenure with the
Republican Governors' Association, so I believe I have a good idea about what it
takes to win elections. Ryan, unlike many young operatives in Republican politics
today, understands what it takes to win.
Twelve months ago, I asked Ryan to take on operational responsibility for
People's Majority, an Independent Expenditure Committee with which I am
involved. Ryan's adaptability and ability to turn challenges into accomplishments
and disadvantages into advantages are some of the reasons that I hired him.
He can connect with donors from a wide runge of backgrounds, philosophies, and
political experience. He secured a record-setting quarter in the Hinckley for
Senate campaign. Ryan's dedication in finding a pathway to success is one of his
most valuable traits. His deployment of technology in the 2010 Rhode Island
Republican Primary Executive Board Election was efficient and complete. Ryan
won election over a favored incumbent with a ratio of seven to one. Ryan was
elected as the youngest Secretary in Party history and went on to help win seven of
eight Special Elections in a state with less than ten percent of voters registered as
Republicans.
In addition to prodigious fundraising, Ryan's ability to create and execute a
strategic campaign plan has made him a great addition to People's Majority. After
taking the initiative to identify the most innovative campaign strategies of the
2012 cyc|e, Ryan was able to create a mission statement for People's Majority and
design an innovative messaging campaign in the 2013 Virginia General Election.
Through the use of private sector consumer intelligence, Ryan was able to identi$
160,000 voters who were proven to favor conservatives more than 73.60/o when
surveyed.

2. I have enjoyed watching Ryan excel in the political world with his background as
a private sector technologr expert and committed user of empirical data. Ryan's
knowledgebase of Randomrzed Experimental Design in campaign management is
the driving force in building value to donors and measuring success in hard
numbers.
Ryan is aggressive, optimistic and passionate. He will prove a valuable addition
to any organization.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have questions.
Yours venr trulv.
