Praise for Rod D. Martin

“Rod is one of our nation’s leading minds in the creation of new and needed ideas for public policy. He possesses a more complete understanding of America than most executives have of their own businesses. He’s smart, original, and very committed—a combination that one rarely finds and that will take him far.”

“Rod Martin and [former Howard Dean campaign manager] Joe Trippi are America’s two foremost experts on online politics.”

“Rod Martin is a Reaganite-Thatcherite conservative…[and] a man who has spent much of his life ministering to and working for the benefit of others. I know Rod as an advocate for freedom, a leader who understands the real changes we need in Washington, and who has the drive and ability to make those changes happen.”

“Ronald Reagan issued a challenge to our nation: that we hold fast to our convictions as moral, freedom-loving people; and to the Republican Party: that we stay true to our conservative principles. Today, Rod Martin stands ready to accept those challenges, and I personally know he is up to the task. He served as Director of Policy Planning and Research in my administration, and he is a tireless worker for the Republican Party across the nation. Most importantly, he lives a balanced life that includes not only work but faith and family.

“Rod Martin is the kind of dynamic leader we need…a man who…has the knowledge, ability and experience to lead [us] successfully into the 21st Century. His vision for America is compelling.”

“Rod Martin has been a consistent advocate and a real conservative mover and shaker. He’s not new to this business: he’s got a great history and a great future.”

“Rod Martin is a born leader and an outstanding political mind. Anyone who takes him on is going to have a serious fight on their hands.”

“Rod Martin is a man of uncommon vision and character. His devotion to making our great nation more free and prosperous is eclipsed only by his compassion for his fellow man. Rod understands that liberty is the bedrock of a virtuous society, and that a government that denies its own people their God-given freedom cannot rightly be called just.”

“Rod Martin wears with uncommon grace an uncanny ability to link his vigorous faith to the practical challenges of both the business world and the political arena. You’ll discover quickly that Rod not only really believes what he says he believes, but is eager to share those convictions with others. Yet in all that, the respect he shows for others carries a warmth and modesty that are both too rare among those who are strong advocates of feisty positions.”

“Rod Martin is not only effective and efficient, but he is also perceptive, wise and gracious. He gets things done and makes the right connections. He is a great friend and a great ally.”

“Rod is one of the sharpest, most gracious men I know, and one of the most gifted political thinkers on the scene today. His ability to analyze issues and communicate thoughtful insights on them have earned him the respect of people across the political spectrum. It is a privilege to call him my friend.”

“I am proud to have been Rod Martin’s friend for a quarter century, and I can tell you that he is one of the finest men and most outstanding leaders in our church and in our country today.”
