Little Rock. Ark.—The Republican Party of Arkansas, in partnership with the Republican National Committee, is pleased to announce the hiring of Bobby Talbot, who will serve as State Director for the Victory Team in Arkansas. In this position, Bobby will oversee get-out-the-vote operations throughout the state and implement a person-to-person grassroots organizing program. Under the RNC’s new model, the ground game will be built from the bottom-up, with staff and volunteers focused on communicating and engaging with voters at the precinct level.

“Bobby’s expertise and experience will be invaluable as we move toward victories up and down the ballot in 2014 and beyond,” said RPA Chairman Doyle Webb. “We continue to grow our majorities and are making a commitment to have the Republican Party organized across Arkansas. I’m confident Bobby will build a formidable operation.”

“Heading into 2014 the RNC is on the ground organizing in neighborhoods across the country earlier than we’ve ever done before,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “We are working with state parties and campaigns to build an infrastructure that will help us take back the Senate, keep the House and elect Republican governors, while laying the foundation for success in 2016. With our historic ground game investments we’re on a path to victory.”
