Matt became Chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party on June 26th, 2010, and was re-elected in May of 2011 to a full two-year term. He is the youngest State GOP Chair in the country. www.okgop.com

Dustin understands what it means to work hard and build a family business. His parents and grandparents are small business owners who instilled in Dustin the appreciation for hard work and helping others.

Dustin’s proven record began at an early age: 18. That year, he registered as a Republican and ran for mayor of his hometown. Citizens of Tishomingo liked what Dustin stood for and, even more, what he helped accomplish for their community. Dustin became the nation’s youngest mayor and served successfully for two terms.

Dustin worked for U. S. Senator Don Nickles in Washington, D.C. Later Dustin and his wife, Nicole, moved to Stillwater to work on Wes Watkins’ successful congressional campaign. At the age of 22, Dustin was named District Director for the newly-elected Republican congressman.

Dustin obtained his bachelor’s degree from East Central University in Ada and his law degree from the University of Oklahoma. For the past decade he has been practicing law on Main Street in the community where he was raised and loves to call home. He also serves as city attorney and prosecutor to several small towns in the second congressional district.

Dustin and Nicole are the parents of two children, Price and Madison. The Rowe family are active members in the Tishomingo First Assembly of God church where Dustin has attended since he was eight years old.

2012 Republican National Convention logo unveiled

Here’s what it all means, according to the RNC:

“The elephant—the proud and strong symbol of the Republican Party—with his trunk pointed toward 2012 reflects the spirit, unity and strength of our Party as we plan a successful 2012 Republican National Convention that enables us to march toward victory next November,” said convention Chief Executive Officer William D. Harris.

“The waves beneath Tampa Bay represent our beautiful host city’s location on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico,” said convention Chairman Alec Poitevint. “The three stars in the flag symbolize equality, justice and opportunity—core principles of our country’s Constitution and the founding tenets of the Republican Party.”
