About Aaron

I was elected Chair of the CD 1 MNGOP on April 23rd, 2022 by an 82%-18% margin. I've been very honored to serve as CD 1 Chair, and it's a responsibility I've taken with the utmost seriousness and respect for our Party, our grassroots, and our candidates. I've dedicated every day of my tenure as Chair working to elect Republicans in all 21 of CD 1's Counties, and have made it a priority to form relationships that help our Party thrive and connect with more voters than ever before.

I was born, raised, and still live in Albert Lea, MN, where I've put down roots and do my best to give back to the community that's given me so much. It's with the hard work ethic I learned in Albert Lea that equipped me to become a Realtor at age 18, graduate college in November, 2022 at the age of 19, that I've dedicated the past six years of my life to the conservative cause, and used every ounce of my energy to elect Republicans everywhere I can.

My political involvement started in 2017 as an intern on Jeff Johnson's 2018 campaign for Governor. In the summer of 2018 I began working as a field staffer for the MNGOP, campaigning to elect our entire slate of Republican candidates. In February of 2019, I was elected Secretary of the Freeborn County Republican Party, a position which allowed me to restructure my BPOU's social media, bring more young people into my BPOU, and help deliver my County to every Republican on the ballot in 2020 for the first time in 70 years (a feat we accomplished once again in 2022).

In 2020, I was elected CD 1 Secretary after previously having no intention of ever running for a Party position at any other level than my county BPOU.  As Secretary, I put over 11,500 miles on my car going to over 137 GOP campaign events and campaigning for our candidates in all 21 of CD 1's counties in the little over a year that I was Secretary. In the spring of 2021, I was elected Vice Chairman of the Freeborn County Republican Party and CD 1 Deputy Chairman. Later that summer, I was elected Chairman of the CD 1 Young Republicans, a position I was re-elected to in July of 2022. These positions have allowed me to continue supporting Republicans at all levels, building relationships that help CD 1 thrive, and bring new people into our Party.

My first term as Chair was anything but boring. We had a special Congressional election (primary & general), a number of competitive primaries (all of which we won in CD 1), a more difficult than anticipated November election, and a whole lot more. I've shown time and time again I'm a fighter who doesn't give up when things get tough and has the determination to deliver results for all of us in CD 1!

I promised when I was elected CD 1 Secretary, again when I was elected CD 1 Deputy Chair, and again when I was elected CD 1 Chair that I would never, ever let you down. I believe I've kept that promise, and I'm ready to continue leading our Party to victory all across CD 1.
