RPK announces chairs, vice-chairs and members-at-large for for state’s six congressional districts


The Republican Party of Kentucky (RPK) has announced the newest congressional district chairs, vice-chairs and members-at-large, coming on the heels of a successful component of the reorganization process that follows each presidential election year as required by the RPK’s rules.

“We’re proud to announce our latest cohort of congressional district party leaders – whether newly elected or those serving additional terms,” Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Mac Brown said. “Our party depends on these leaders to do what we do best, which is win elections to keep Kentucky moving forward. With their service and leadership to our state and party, we are well-positioned to build on our momentum of Republican victories for years to come.”

District chairs, vice-chairs and members-at-large provide leadership and oversight of fundraising, event planning and other grassroots organizing of the county parties that make up their congressional district.

Earlier this year, grassroots Republicans gathered to elect new county party chairs and officers. This resulted in the highest number of county parties ever established in history, at 105 organized county parties, more than 87 percent of Kentucky’s 120 counties.

“Our grassroots team of leaders, volunteers and activists is stronger across the board than ever before,” Chairman Brown concluded. “From the county level to the halls of Congress, Kentucky Republicans are better positioned to support our candidates and elected officials and defeat more Democrats in the upcoming special elections, 2022, 2023 and beyond.”
