[EL] Congratulations, Dan Backer

[Steve Hoersting]

Dan Backer has won the Young Conservatives Coalition's Buckley Award.

Whenever an Award or a Prize of this kind comes about, where I have first
hand knowledge of how it was won, I am always inclined to say, "Indeed. And
I can honestly say this was a group effort."

Some take that statement better than do others. But I have no doubt
whatsoever that Dan will take it very well, indeed.

Way to hustle, Dan. Congratulations!

                "This is the fifth year the YCC has given out this award to
deserving young professional conservatives who've advanced the conservative
and liberty cause," said YCC President, Christopher Malagisi. "After a
tumultuous year of scandals, war, global health crises, and historical
congressional elections in 2014, these rising stars played a critical role
in helping advance conservatism this past year in their own unique
ways. While incredibly competitive this year in number and scope of
nominations, we are proud to honor these individuals for their
contributions in advancing conservatism."
