Meet Jerod Tolson

When native Washingtonian and third generation entrepreneur isn't running the family buisness--Tolson Logistics-- begun by his grandfather, Jerod Tolson is working to build the party base in Ward 7 and will attend the Republican Convention as a Bush alternate

Republican since: Birth


Republican because: I relate to the idelas of the Party and believe that less government regulation is better for the economy.


Describe your republican community activism: I have been Chairman Ward 7 Since August of last year. It has been a learning experience for me as this was my first foray into local politics. I have found it to be challenging given the demographics and the mindset of my community as well as the city. The rewarding part of the appointment has been the opportuntiy to relay the message of the Party to residents in the community and to get them thinking outside of the traditional "Democratic" box.


I attended the Southern Republican Leadership Conference Apr 15-18, 2004. I wanted to see how it felt to participate in a large Republican event; and Florida, being the pivotal state in the 2000 election, seemed like the perfect place to explore. The guest speakers included Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (MD), Gov. Haley Barbour (MS), J.C. Watts, fmr Congr. (OK), Ed Gillespe, RNC Chairman and Gov. Jeb Bush (FL). I met a lot of interesting people of varying ethnicities from across the country.


Advice you’d give the President: Don't waver in the face of adversity.


Favorite Republican: George W. Bush
