It is my pleasure to introduce ROARR contributor, Chris Ladd.

Chris is a Texan living in the Chicago area.  He has been involved in grassroots Republican politics for most of his life.  He started with precinct meetings during his youth in Southeast Texas and has continued with a college stint at the Texas State Capitol, years volunteering in state and local campaigns in the Houston area, and service as a precinct committeeman in suburban Chicago.

He watched with alarm as the Party in his home state grew more and more tolerant of extremes and intolerant of reason.  The Republican Party is still the best fit for his politics, but it’s an increasingly uncomfortable home.

Chris graduated from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas with a BA in politics and economics and earned a law degree from the University of Houston.  He works as a pre-sales engineer in the software industry.

Stay tuned for his first official post later today.
