Summit County Republican Women Select McKenna Rorex as Their 2022 Constitutional Scholar and Scholar
Summit County Republican Women are pleased to honor Summit High School senior McKenna Rorex as their 2022 Constitutional Scholar and scholarship winner.
“McKenna impressed us with her well-researched essay in which she explained the difference between a democracy and a republic,” said Summit County Republican Women President Tess Scalise. “She clearly understands how a republic protects the interests of the minority and prevents tyranny of the majority. In addition, McKenna is an outstanding scholar, student athlete, and leader.”
Rorex earned Gold Level Honor Society recognition all four years of high school. She is also a member of the Science National Honor Society, the Math Honor Society, and the National Art Honor Society. She is a member of the Tech Club and competed in the Technology Student Association statewide competition, qualifying for nationals. This talented young woman also captained the Summit High School volleyball team for two years.
Rorex has been accepted at both the University of Arizona and University of Colorado Boulder and plans to study neuroscience and psychological science as a double major. One of her goals is “to start mental health outreach to kids at an early age – to get kids the help they need to do well and grow.”
When asked if researching and writing the essay for the Republican Women’s scholarship had any impact on her views, Rorex confirmed that it did. “I am working on a speech in my English class now about tyranny of the majority – specifically how the rural counties are unrepresented in Proposition 114.” The proposition regards the reintroduction of wolves into Colorado.

Summit County Republican Women Honor Caleb Mallory with
Its 2021 Constitutional Scholar Award and Scholarship
(Breckenridge, CO) –Summit County Republican Women were pleased to honor Summit High School senior Caleb Mallory with its 2021 Constitutional Scholar Award and scholarship.
“In addition to his outstanding academic record and volunteer service to the community, we were extremely impressed with Caleb’s essay,” explains Garnett Payne, president of the Republican women’s organization. “We asked students to write why our nation’s Founders chose to create a republic instead of a pure democracy. Caleb’s response demonstrated a high level of research and his deep understanding of the choice our Founders made.”
In one part of Mallory’s essay, he wrote, “A republic recognizes the issues surrounding a pure democracy, and while still holding importance around majority rule, protects the minority of the country that didn’t end up winning an election…. Overall, a republic protects the will of all the population of a nation, to an extent, while a pure democracy only protects the majority’s rule.”
Frequently volunteering with Summit Youth Hockey, Fairview Horse Rescue in Fairplay, and the Explorer’s Program with the Breckenridge Sheriff’s Office, Mallory also served as secretary for the high school Optimist Club and played varsity hockey and lacrosse. He wants to continue serving others and this country in the years ahead. He plans to attend the University of San Diego in the fall and participate in the ROTC program there, becoming an officer in the U.S. Army after college graduation. Beyond active duty in the military, he is considering other future career options including law, criminal justice, the FBI, the Peace Corps, and missionary work.
“I want to have a large-scale, beneficial impact on America and society,” says Mallory, “as I feel a debt to America due to all the amazing things America has done for me. My big thing is I want to find a way to unite America and end the negative bipartisan relations in this great country. I think it is much more important that everybody starts identifying themselves as proud Americans rather than Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals. All these smaller collectives only divide the country and disallow for America’s future success.”
Summit County Republican Women is a friendly, conservative, outgoing group of women, who are dedicated to serving our country and the local community. For more information, please email the group at info@SummitGOPWomen.org or visit www.SummitGOPWomen.org.
