West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Conrad Lucas
announced Jan. 16 that William Ward Wyatt has been named the party's new
executive director.
Wyatt, a Texas
native who came to West Virginia
to manage Kent Leonhardt's close but unsuccessful race for Agriculture
Commissioner, will start in the next month, prior to the legislative session.
"Ward will be an incredible asset to lead our team," Lucas
said in a news release. "Ward brings a wealth of knowledge of modern campaign
tactics as well as strong experience working with state legislators that will
be invaluable as we look to the 2014 election cycle."
Wyatt previously served as an aide to Rep. Stefani Carter,
R-Tex., who was the first female, African-American Republican in the House.
Wyatt also served as a legislative aide to Rep. Harvey Hilderbran, chairman of
the Texas House Ways & Means Committee.
Wyatt graduated from the University of Texas-Austin with a
degree in government and business. His father, Joseph P. Wyatt Jr., represented
the Texas's 14th Congressional
District.
"I appreciate the chairman's confidence in me to oversee the
day-to-day operations of the WVGOP," Wyatt said in a news release. "The future
begins now, and I'm excited to bring my energy and skill set to assist Chairman
Lucas in strengthening the West Virginia Republican Party so we can accomplish
our goals for 2014."
