“We are excited to welcome Ms. Harold to York Township. She is a great representative of the values we have long upheld to keep the DuPage area strong, safe and vital,” shared Tony Cuzzone, chairman of the York Township Republican Committeemen’s Organization, one of the sponsoring groups for the meet and greet. “We hope that area residents will take advantage of this opportunity to meet this dynamic candidate and learn about our local grass roots political activity.”

Harold first came into the public eye as Miss America 2003. While wearing that crown, her platform was preventing youth bullying and violence. As Miss America she also advocated teenage abstinence and endorsed faith-based initiatives to address society’s ills. A Harvard Law School graduate, her current legal work focused on civil litigation and civil rights.

“My interest in the law came from being a victim of racial and sexual harassment at ninth grade,” Harold explained. “The law then did not require schools to protect schools to protect students as it does now and at that time, I felt so powerless. It was formative in many ways.”

Harold’s appearance in Elmhurst is presented by York Township Republican Committeemen’s Organization, York Township Republican Women’s Organization, and DuPage Young Republicans.
