Political "Boy Wonder" lands at Crowley's PAC

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- Matt Mowers, who was 18 when he started his job as executive director of the Bergen County Republican Organization, has landed at the newly formed PAC Building a New Majority.

Mowers, now 19, lost his position at the BCRO after former Chairman Rob Ortiz, who hired him, lost his bid for reelection to former freeholder candidate Bob Yudin.  He’s spending the week in the Twin Cities for his new position. 

“It’s great. It’s fun. We’re targeting local races and a few county races, just trying to help them out with field plans, paper mailers,” he said.

The CPC is the brainchild of biotech executive John Crowley, who flirted with a U.S. Senate bid earlier this year and who observers speculate will seek a statewide office in the future. 

When asked what Crowley has in mind for the future, Mowers kept it  vague.

“I think he’s exciting people about the McCain/Palin ticket, and we’re working to build the Republican Party,” he said.
