Kumu was given an honorabl! e mention at Senator Paul Harold Awards Ceremony for service to the community.

The new Chair for the QRC is daughter of 4 time past Mayor of Quincy, which Kumu said is "fine", since "I am a relatively new comer to Quincy and haven''t had a chance to get to know my fellow republicans in town - this has been largely due to the fact that there was practically no Republican Committee in Quincy in recent past. On Super Tuesday , there were 192 Democrats and 0 Republicans who got voted in , in Quincy. I was a write in candidate, due to my late decision to run."
