The Orange County Registered reported that Associate Professor of Economics, Sean Flynn, was recognized by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) as a “Young Guns Contender”: a political candidate who has met fundraising goals and programmatic benchmarks in their congressional campaign. The NRCC “Young Guns” program supports candidates who show a “mature” campaign in congressional seats that appear favorable to GOP candidates.
Flynn is running for a congressional seat for CA District 31. The author of the international bestselling Economics for Dummies and co-founder of the first company to offer student loan default protection to America’s college students, Flynn is running on a platform of vocational training to raise employment, increased immigration screening and border security, K-12 school reform, affordable higher education, and second amendment preservation.
