NCGOP names new director
The North Carolina Republican Party announced Monday it has hired political consultant Todd Poole as its new executive director.
Posted — Updated
Poole formerly served as chief of staff to 5th District Congresswoman Virginia Foxx and also worked for U.S. Sen. Richard Burr when he held that seat in the House. According to the party's news release, Poole has "consulted, managed and volunteered for many federal, state and local campaigns" in North Carolina, including the Bush/Cheney ticket in 2004.
In April, Poole co-founded Red Dome Strategies, a political consulting group, with GOP operative Andy Yates. The firm is based in Charlotte.
“We are excited to welcome Todd as the new executive director of the North Carolina Republican Party,” Chairman Claude Pope was quoted in the press release. “Todd’s experience, knowledge of the state and political instincts will serve our party well as we work to elect Republicans at all levels of government with a keen eye on defeating Sen. Kay Hagan in 2014.”
The party's last executive director, Scott Laster, left at the end of 2012 to form a political consulting firm with his wife. Chief of Staff and Communications Director Mike Rusher has been filling in during the interim.
