Former South Carolina Federation of Young Republicans Chairman, Patrick Haddon was awarded the Young Republican National Federation’s highest award, “Man of the Year” at its biennial convention and awards gala. Patrick’s enthusiasm and dedication to the young people of South Carolina led to his tireless efforts to reorganize South Carolina with the National Young Republican organization. In only two years, Patrick stoked the fire that founded 10 Young Republican organizations throughout the state, which caught the attention and respect of national Young Republican leadership. “We are so proud of Patrick,” said current Chairman, Britton Pruett “it was such an exciting moment to share in one of South Carolina’s own—one of our own—being recognized on a notional stage.”
