Alabama Secretary Of State To Chair National GOP Committee

MONTGOMERY, AL — Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill will chair the 2021 2021 Republican Secretaries of State Executive Committee, after the organization met March 9 to elect its new committee members.

Merrill is the first person appointed to serve as chair of the committee for consecutive terms.

Members of the RSSC have been working alongside their state legislatures in recent weeks to promote voter-centric reforms that will strengthen the electoral process. In addition, the group has focused on promoting legislation that leaves states with the freedom and flexibility to administer their own elections, without federal overreach or interference.

The executive committee for 2021:

• Alabama Secretary of State John H. Merrill, Chair
• Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett, Vice Chair
• Kentucky Secretary of State Michael G. Adams, Finance Chair
• Florida Secretary of State Laurel Lee, Member at Large
• Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson, Member at Large
• Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, Member at Large
• Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, Member at Large
• West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner, Engagement Co-Chair
• Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman, Engagement Co-Chair

“Together, we will continue to identify best practices related to protecting the security of the elections process and encourage our respective state legislatures to adopt bills aimed at making it easier to vote and harder to cheat,” Merrill said. “Based on their successful experiences in administering the 2020 Election Cycle, this group of leaders has proven they are qualified to restore confidence in our elections and increase the integrity of the process.”
