Meet the Kazakhstan Country Director

Former Hillsborough County Republican Party chairman David Storck was fired for forwarding a racist email about Barack Obama voters. The HCRP has been rocked by controversy and disorganization. The HCRP decided to take decisive action by hiring Rep. Leslie Water's former "Kazakhstan Country Director", Joshua Burgin, as Party Administrator. Apparently being Kazakhstan Country Director leads to job oppurtunities in the GOP.

TAMPA – Deborah Cox-Roush, Hillsborough County Republican Party Chairman, announced today that Joshua Burgin was selected by the Executive Board to take on the position of Party Administrator. Burgin will be introduced to members at the first Republican Executive Committee meeting of the year on January 20th at the Blaise Alfano Convention and Conference Center.

After advertising and interviewing a diverse group of qualified candidates, members of the Executive Board enthusiastically recommended him for the position. Burgin is well known locally, managing three Republican campaign offices during the November elections, and impressed volunteers, office staff and party leaders with his political know-how and skillful use of technology. He’s expected to expand the party’s grassroots efforts, which consistently have been the strength of Hillsborough’s Republican Party.

Chairman Cox-Roush noted that “He demonstrates not only a new way of doing business but reflects the forward-thinking attitude that has been adopted by our newly elected party leadership team. It’s our new motto, “There’s no past in politics, only the future. The Republican Party in Hillsborough intends to lead in that direction.”

Burgin is the brother of state rep. Rachel Burgin. The female Burgin was an aide to former Trey Traviesa. Traviesa quit the race after winning the primary. The party shockingly chose Rachel Burgin to run in Traviesa's place. Burgin has no college degree and never ran for office before. Qualifications nearly as stellar as Kazakhstan Country Director.
