Alan Hedrick
Alan got his start in politics during college working on the 2004 re-election campaign of President George W. Bush as a college coordinator in Pinellas County, Florida. He then went on to work on several other Republican races in Florida in 2006. After graduating as President of his class and an HSBC Hispanic Leadership Scholar, he went into corporate America and had to deal with the economic downturn of 2008-2009 and learned how to run a business under extreme challenges.
In 2011 Alan moved to NYC and quickly got involved with the New York City Young Republican Club where he served on their board for four years. In 2016 he volunteered with President Trump’s Campaign to help him win the New York primary. Working in residential real estate in NYC with the top real estate firm in the nation, Alan decided to go back to school and earned an MBA and Master of Science in Business Analytics from Syracuse University.
In 2020 during the pandemic, Alan’s real estate business was completely shut down by the tyrannical left and their business killing policies. Through adversity, Alan decided to be closer to his family and moved to Nevada. After moving to Nevada, Alan obtained his license as a Broker Salesperson and started working in commercial real estate, where he works with developers and real estate investors to build multi-family housing and industrial spaces to bring industries and economic growth to Las Vegas.
Seeing the need, Alan stepped up and ran for State Assembly in 2022, losing by a less than 1% margin in the primary. This presented an opportunity to work with the Republican Jewish Coalition on several federal races in Nevada as a grassroots coordinator. After the 2022 election Alan continued his work with the RJC and outreach to the Jewish community and to ensure a voice in the state and local Republican Parties. Currently some of the initiatives of the RJC in Nevada are fighting antisemitism, further engagement of the Jewish community, and setting-up ballet harvesting initiatives.
