Well, winner of the Buckley Award , anyway. Ryan, a former assistant editor and now a member of our Advisory Council, was one of the five people awarded the Young Conservative Coalition’s award for young conservative leaders. The biography included mentions his “influence and ‘courage under fire’,” noting the way he handled himself when under attack by Piers Morgan. (If you have had a similar experience, you will know how impressive Ryan’s performance was.) The quickest way to summarize his gifts and accomplishments is just to say that we’re very, very, very glad he’s one of us.
Congratulations to Ryan.
