SELMA — The North Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee selected Jason Simmons as the new chairman in Selma on Tuesday, March 26.
Simmons will fill the term of previous chairman Michael Whatley, who was elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) on March 7. Whatley formally resigned as NCGOP Chairman earlier in the evening.
"I’m honored to be chosen by my fellow Republicans to lead our party into the most important election in our lifetime,” said Simmons. “There is much work to be done to win North Carolina for President Trump, put Lt. Governor Robinson in the Governor’s Mansion, maintain our supermajorities in the General Assembly, and win four statewide judicial races. I’m ready to hit the ground running."
"I'm excited for Jason to take over as Chairman and I look forward to working closely with him to ensure we win North Carolina for President Trump and elect Republicans up and down the ballot," said RNC Chairman Whatley in a statement.
Simmons will be chairman until the next scheduled election in June 2025.
