Bedford Man Elected Regional Director for Young Republicans

Among the many positions he has held in his relatively young political career, Bob Burns already served (and in some cases continues to serve) as Hillsborough County Treasurer; Bedford Republican Committee Treasurer; Greater Manchester Young Republicans Chairman; National Committeeman for the New Hampshire Young Republicans; and New Hampshire Director for Newt Gingrich's 2012 campaign.

The 35-year-old Bedford resident also ran for New Hampshire Executive Council in 2012. He won the Republican primary, but fell to Democrat Christopher Pappas in the general election.

Now, he's adding a national title to his resume.

On Thursday, the New Hampshire Young Republicans announced that Burns was was elected as the Young Republicans National Federation (YRNF) Northeast Regional Director at the annual convention in Mobile, AL.

The Northeast Region covers the New England states and New York. The regional director oversees the state chairmen and is responsible for supervising and coordinating activities in their area. 

“Having a New Hampshire presence on the national board will strengthen the relationship New Hampshire already enjoys with the YRNF,” said Burns.

New Hampshire Young Republican Chairwoman Molly Sanborn added, “Bob’s election to Regional Director strengthens our organization and we look forward to bringing more Young Republican events and activists to New Hampshire.”
