Mackson Receives Outstanding Republican of the Year

Posted

Each year the Clare County Republican Party recognizes a member as the Outstanding Republican of the Year. This year we recognize Rachel Mackson. Rachel was raised in a family that emphasized family, civic duty, and volunteerism.

When her father, a lifetime Republican, passed away, it seemed natural to join the local party to honor his memory. Not long after, she was asked to be Treasurer. Utilizing her IT skills, she created a shared folder of information that the entire group could access to help transform the group into a true grassroots organization. When asked for a favorite quote, Rachel, who has spent most of her life as a homemaker raising children, immediately thought of the Little Engine That Could. When faced with a daunting task, she thinks to herself, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” She says, “I encourage everyone to put their heart into a task that betters the world even though it may seem difficult”. It is her positivity and passion that is highlighted by this honor.

We are privileged to have such a hardworking and dedicated member. We appreciate all that she contributes to her community and to the Clare County Republican Party.
