DENTON, MD - Two young men from Caroline County one barely out of high school, the other barely out of college have taken the political plunge by building careers in the Republican party.
At 23 years old, Matt Teffeau is a staff assistant for U.S. Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md.-1st, and Matt Proud, at just 19, is the political and communications director for the Maryland Republican Party. Proud and Teffeau have aspirations in politics well beyond their current roles.
Both are members of the Caroline County Republican Central Committee, with Proud having been elected to his seat last year and Teffeau being appointed earlier this year. Proud also is the president of the Mid-Shore Young Republicans, with Teffeau as vice president.
Teffeau said though Republicans may be the minority in the state, the party represents the core conservative values of Maryland's Eastern Shore.
"We're both making small changes to make a big difference," said Proud of his and Teffeau's political efforts.
