MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - John Wahl, a butterfly farmer and state GOP officer, has been elected as the new chairman of the Alabama Republican Party.
Wahl replaces longtime chairwoman Terry Lathan who did not seek a fourth term. Wahl previously served as the ALGOP senior vice chairman.
He was a member of Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s transition team.
In a statement Wahl said the party’s values of free speech, equal rights, family values, and fair elections are under attack.
