Bennett emerging as a leading activist for MassGOP

Former Nantucket Selectman and County Commissioner seen emerging as a central player for the Massachusetts Republicans.

NANTUCKET- Over the past 6 months, Doug Bennett has emerged as one of the top leaders for Massachusetts' opposition minority party, the Republicans.

youngrepublican320_420_01Bennett, who managed Westwood GOP candidate Doug Obey in an effort which successfully defeated former Kennedy intern and former Tom Reilly Chief of Staff Stephen Billifer in the 11th Norfolk state Representative election this past May 15th, 2007, is seen to be emerging into a central role for the Massachusetts Republican Party.

Since leaving office this past April, Bennett has now served as a campaign manager for the GOP in two special elections, has helped reorganize the Boston City Republicans over the last several months and also the Nantucket Republican Town Committee this past August 21st at Kitty Murtagh's.  Most recently, Bennett was unanimously elected as the 3rd highest ranking official of the Massachusetts Federation of Young Republicans on September 29th.  Bennett will serve as Secretary of State for the organization until Spring 2009 with the duty of marketing and branding the Young Republicans state-wide.

Bennett served as Selectman and County Commissioner for Nantucket from April 2004-April 2007.  For more information contact 774-236-1453.
