As the organizational convention for the California Republican Party approaches, Marin’s Kevin Krick is running to be the new Bay Area Regional Vice Chair for the CRP.
The opening arises because incumbent Morgan Kelley has reached her term limit after serving for four years. The Regional Vice Chair represents six Bay Area counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara) on the CRP Board of Directors.
Kevin Krick is the Chairman of the Marin Republican Party, as well as First Vice President for the Republican County Chairmen’s Association.
He says that, “the CRP needs a plan to increase Republican registration and as you’re well aware, that need is very apparent in our area.”
Krick works for APL (formerly American President Lines), one of the world’s largest container shipping companies.
He serves as Senior Director – Security/Environment, managing a staff that deals with all security and environmental issues for a logistics company that operates 150 containerships and 7 container terminals located throughout the Pacific.
Previously, he served as the Assistant Director, Security and Accident Prevention for the Pacific Maritime Association in San Francisco. He was part of the waterfront employers’ 2008 negotiation team that successfully delivered a contract with the longshore union.
Before that, President George W. Bush appointed Kevin Krick as the Special Assistant to the Administrator for the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) in the Department of Transportation. He was promoted to Senior Advisor for Maritime Policy, where he provided both policy guidance and leadership to MARAD.
Kevin graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York and subsequently earned an M.S. degree from the College of Marine Studies at the University of Delaware.
He received a commission in the United States Navy and currently holds the rank of Captain (select) in the Strategic Sealift Reserve Group. He drills out of the Naval Operations Support Center in Alameda.
Kevin is very active with the local Boy Scouts of America, assisting in a leadership role alongside his wife in Pack 7 and concurrently serving as Scoutmaster for Troop 15. He and his wife Natasha live in Fairfax with their two sons.
He believes that “we can begin a Republican resurgence in the Golden State.” You can learn more about Kevin here. You can contact Kevin’s campaign at KrickforCRPbayareavc@gmail.com.
