West Virginia Key to the GOP's 50 State Plan
"West Virginia will play a crucial role in the midterm elections and we're putting together a formidable operation to insure we deliver Republican victories," said WVGOP Executive Director Ward Wyatt. "We're going to compete for every vote in the Mountain State and our early party building efforts will ensure we have the resources to do so."
"We're building the most expansive field program the GOP has ever seen, and we're doing it earlier than ever before," said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. "Republicans have never made this kind of investment in an off year. The RNC will be in communities engaging with and listening to voters where they live, work, and worship--not months, but years before Election Day. Our State Directors will play key roles in building a permanent field operation to be successful in elections this year, in 2014, in 2016, and beyond."

Ahead of Summer State Meeting, Matt Dailer, named Director of Field Operations for 2014 Midterm Elections
CHARLESTON, W.Va - The West Virginia Republican Party is very excited to announce Matt Dailer as our Director of Field Operations for the 2014 cycle. Matt's prior success combined with his broad experience, existing relationships and knowledge of West Virginia will allow for a seamless onboarding process and ensure positive results. With prior Victory experience and direct work with our state legislators, Matt is ready to take the reins of the Field Operations program in West Virginia.
Matt grew up in Wheeling where he graduated from Wheeling Park High School. Matt is a big fan of the Thundering Herd. He received his bachelor's degree in Political Science from Marshall University. Matt's parents still reside in Wheeling where his father, James "Dubie" Dailer is Athletic Director at Bishop Donahue High School.
During
the
2012
cycle,
Matt
operated
one
of the most successful Victory
offices in West Virginia, serving the western half of the 2nd
and 3rd Congressional Districts. Considering the natural
importance of
retaining the 2nd Congressional District and the NRCC's targeting of
the 3rd Congressional District, Matt's knowledge of the
region will prove invaluable. Matt instinctively developed
relationships with key coalition groups in his region and provided
leadership in an area of West Virginia, which has proven difficult in
previous cycles. Matt will be able to bring this direct field
experience and knowledge statewide to lead comprehensive efforts.
Further, being a native to the northern panhandle of West Virginia,
adds to his unmatched geographic knowledge.
In addition to Matt's Victory field experience, he has spent two legislative sessions working as an analyst for the Republican Senate caucus and has received glowing praise from leadership in both houses. The level of comfort and credibility that he has established with elected Republicans statewide only further scaffolds Matt's natural fit for the Director of Field Operations position.
