Rachel Campbell, leader of the Hamilton County Democratic Party for the past three years, was elected chair of the state party Saturday, according to a news release.
“Her leadership will help to usher in a renewed focus on building coalitions, expanding investments in electoral strategies and aiming to strengthen the party’s presence and impact across Tennessee,” the release said.
Campbell was selected by a vote of the state party’s executive committee, the release said. She will succeed Hendrell Remus.
“I am so honored to have been elected chair … and I am looking forward to working with Tennessee Democrats to broaden our electoral base, begin reclaiming seats in all parts of Tennessee and restore common sense and dignity to our state’s politics,” Campbell said in the release.
