Alabama Republican Party Chairman Bill Armistead released the following
statement congratulating Teenage Republican Blake Guinn upon his election to
the Gardendale City Council:
"Blake Guinn is
one of the finest young men I have ever had the pleasure to know and it doesn't
surprise me that he has already accomplished so much at the young age of
nineteen. Blake is one of the youngest
city council members in the state and his election sends a strong message that
the youth of this state are ready to lead. While Blake served as an intern for the Alabama Republican Party this
past spring, it became clear to everyone who met with and worked with him that
he was a young man of impeccable character, a true gentleman, and a strong
defender of the conservative principles that Alabamians embrace. He openly
shared his faith in Jesus Christ wherever he went and had one of the strongest
worth ethics I've ever seen. It has been my pleasure to mentor and support
Blake over the last few months and I am looking forward to seeing what else
this remarkable young man will accomplish. He is truly a rising Republican star
in Alabama!"
