A Thank You to All Candidates

We also want to extend a sincere thank you to Bart Lopez, Ian Webb, Kyler Christian, Nick Johnson, Adam Harrigan, and Brandon Sauder for stepping up to run. A volunteer league is only as strong as the people willing to put in the work, and their dedication to MC USA is deeply appreciated. We look forward to their continued contributions to our sport as it continues to grow.
