State Republicans today elected Charleston lawyer Mike Stuart their new chairman.
Stuart won over 74-45 over current incumbent Doug McKinney, who’s been party chief since 2006.
Troy Berman, who was hired by McKinney last year as the party’s executive director, says he’s no longer working for the party now that McKinney is out.

What a wonderful day in Morgantown!!!
Congratulations to Mike Stuart. While I know some will say that I am unhappy,but I am not. I have said all along that people who disagreed with Doug should have done something. That is what happened. Hope we can all get along.
A great day for the West Virginia Republican Party!
Congratulations, Mike Stuart!
Congrats Mike!
Time to get to work and beat the Democrats. Let’s start raising money and buying paid media to help our candidates this fall. Congratulations Stuart
Thank you for running, Mike… It’s a great day to be a Mountaineer!
Congrats Mike.
Excellent!
Guess now that Doug is gone money will immediately begin rolling into WV GOP HQ? It will be interesting to watch the State and FEC reports. We have less than 100 days to beat an opponent that outnumbers us 2.5 to 1. I wish Mike and his new team well … at the same time, I’m glad I’m not him. It will take every one of the Doug bashers on here to pony up and get with the program for real because there was some real division left by the “Smack down in’Mo Town” as I heard someone call it. Congratulations Mike and Team – forget celebrating because there aint no time for it now.
CONGRATULATIONS MIKE STUART AND TEAM STUART …IT WAS AN AMAZING DAY IN MORGANTOWN!
NOW I HOPE WE CAN ALL PULL TOGETHER TO ADVANCE THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES!
Congratulations Mike! Lot’s of work to be done lets roll!
Let’s see how many of the former power-clique continue to work for the advancement of the party and our ideals without their titles. We need to have a united push over the next 4 months and beyond!!!
No longer having the feeling it’s wasted, my check to the WVGOP will be sent this week. Congratulations, Mike. WV is at a political crossroads. I sleep well with Mike delivering the message of which path to follow on behalf of Republicans, generally, and conservative and Christian ideals, specifically.
