RPA STAFF
RPA CHAIRMAN/RNC GENERAL COUNSEL DOYLE WEBB |
Doyle Webb is serving in his 12th year as Chairman of the RPA, the longest tenure in state party's history. Under Webb's leadership the party has seen historic victories across the state, he oversaw the state house and senate go from minority to majority then to a super majority; sweeping all seven constitutional offices, and rounding out an all-Republican federal delegation to the U.S. House and Senate. For the first time in 140 years, Republicans are the majority party of Arkansas in large part due to the targeting, recruiting, and training of candidates led by Doyle Webb.
Doyle is also the longest serving chairman within the Republican National Committee, the benefit of that continuity evident in the party's current unprecedented strength. Of note, Doyle was appointed by Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to serve as the General Counsel to the Republican National Committee in conjunction with his state chairman responsibilities.

Doyle got his start in politics at the young age of 15, he went on to become the first elected Republican official in Saline County (traditionally the strongest Union County in the State), a State Senator, Chief of Staff to Lt.
