Raz Shafer ~ Deputy Director of New Media

Raz joined American Majority in June of 2009 and currently serves as our Texas Executive Director. Prior to joining American Majority, Raz attended Hillsdale College, graduating with a B.S. in Political Economy. As part of that degree program, he completed internships with the Texas Public Policy Foundation and U.S. Congressman John Carter. He was also an active member and officer in the Sigma Chi Fraternity.

Raised in rural Erath County, Texas, Raz grew up with an appreciation of the freedoms our republic affords. Rifle competitions, music and serial entrepreneurship emerged early as key interests and he has continued his pursuit of each through the present. Raz currently resides in Fort Worth, Texas.

Which Founding Father do you relate most with, and why?
John Adams. He was a unwavering proponent of liberty and very much a common man. While he made many clear mistakes, he was always open to wise counsel, especially that of his wife, Abigail, with whom he had a relationship worthy of emulation. Far from a perfect man, John Adams dedicated his personal and professional life to his country. He laid his heart, body and soul on the altar of freedom and American prosperity.

What is your favorite city to train in and why?
It’s a tough call but I’d have to say my home town of Stephenville, TX. During the training there, I was able to train and empower people I’ve grown up around and that I share a great deal in common with. The best part though, is looking at the results of the training and seeing my own home town and county being benefited so greatly by local activists using what I taught them in a place that I still call home.

What reality show do you think you would perform best on?
I’d want to be a guest star on Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls.

How does Raz compare to the American majority:

69% of Americans eat the cake before the frosting, do you?
I am in the minority. Each bite should contain a bit of each.

71% of Americans can drive a stick shift, can you?
I am in the majority. My dad taught me how to drive one when I was 12 and I still find it the most enjoyable type of vehicle to drive!

57% of Americans save pretty wrapping paper for reuse, do you?
I am in the minority. I still open presents like a 5 year old on Christmas morning so the paper doesn’t usually end up in salvageable pieces.

67% of Americans report having fired a gun, have you?
I am in the majority. During highschool I shot regularly in local and state rifle/pistol competitions and continued that track as a firearms instructor at Hillsdale College.

68% of Americans engage in social media, do you? How often?
I am in the majority. I’ve been on Facebook since 2004 and hopped on the Twitter bandwagon in January of ’09. On a daily basis I’m on Twitter and Facebook engaging with friends and fellow conservatives.
