CONGRATULATIONS TAYLOR HUCKABY!

Taylor Huckaby works for the Republican Party of Louisiana.  He works directly for the Director of Communications.  His job entails writing press releases, updating the website blog, and he recently wrote a speech given by Roger Villere, Chairman of the Republican Party of Louisiana, delivered in New Orleans.  He started as a summer intern, but by August was hired on as a regular employee.  Prior to working for the GOP, he worked for Governor and Mrs. Jindal during the spring semester. 

 The highlight of working for the GOP in Louisiana so far was being chosen to attend the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis earlier this month.  Taylor had a floor pass for the evening events so he heard McCain, Palin, Guiliani and Fred Thompson's speeches up close and personal.  He said it was "electric" and incredibly exciting to be there.  He stayed busy during the day doing everything from checking press credentials for official Louisiana events to gophering people from the hotel to the airport. Taylor is pursuing a degree in Political Communication from the Manship School of Mass Communication at LSU.  He is the pianist for his church, Chapel on the Campus (on the edge of LSU's campus), where he also plays and sings with The Refuge Band.  Refuge is the college ministry of Chapel where over 500 students attend services on any given Sunday night.

SECOND WEEK OF WNT TRAINING STARTS ON FEB. 9 WITH 26 PLAYERS: After a week of intense training with 35 players at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Pia Sundhage has released 11 players, re-assigned one to the U-23 Women’s National Team, and called up three additional players, making for a group of 26 players that will train from Feb. 9-17 at The HDC.
