It’s a wonderful opportunity to join an excellent group of conservatives!

My name is William Mulgrew. I was born in Philadelphia in 1984 and never really left the area — I grew up in Millbourne Borough right outside Philly, attended high school with Carmine Iccarino, and became an Eagle Scout. I’m currently a third year history, political science, and English student at Drexel University. At Drexel, I am Chairman of the College Republicans and Editorial Editor for The Triangle, the student newspaper, where I am known as “The Archconservative” formerly known as the “Foot-soldier of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.”

I attended the 2005 College Republican National Convention where Michael Davidson lost by a handful of votes. I served as the State Field Director for the Pennsylvania Federation of College Republicans under Chairman Nick Miccarelli. I managed the very first PA CR field program, where I targeted CR expansion in other schools and conducted a six week field expedition, recruiting students in over 40 different schools and starting new CR chapters.

Last May, I was elected the youngest Republican Ward Leader for the 24th Ward of Philadelphia at 22 years old. I urge fellow conservatives to take control of the Party directly by becoming committeemen where they live. Committeemen in many different counties (except Philadelphia) usually have the power to recruit and endorse candidates for public office, which carries a lot of weight in shaping the direction of the Republican Party.

I am a fundamentalist Christian, a social conservative, an economic libertarian, a constitutional originalist, and a foreign policy democratic realist.

I urge others to remember the words of F. Holderlin, “What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it his heaven.”
