  Conrad Lucas of Huntington has been re-elected to a full four-year term as chairman of the West Virginia Republican Party.

The state GOP says in a news release Saturday that its Executive Committee unanimously re-elected Lucas at its annual summer meeting in Huntington.

Lucas served as the state party’s general counsel and chairman of the West Virginia Young Republicans before being chosen chairman in 2012. He succeeded Mike Stewart, who resigned to focus on career and family.

Executive Committee members also heard from Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, the party’s candidate for Senate; state Sen. Evan Jenkins, the GOP nominee in the 3rd Congressional District; and Republican National Committee Evangelical Outreach Director Chad Connelly.
