Robin Van Ausdall named Executive Director of Wyoming Democratic Party

CASPER:  The Wyoming Democratic Party has chosen Robin Van Ausdall to be the Party’s new Executive Director, according to Party Chair Chuck Herz.
 
The selection marks the culmination of a nation-wide search that began last September. “Our process engaged many local activists as well as the Party’s leadership,” Herz said. “We took all the time we needed to find exactly the right person.”
 
Ms Van Ausdall’s professional experience includes consulting and strategy work with both candidate and issue campaigns at the local, state and national levels. Of particular note is her work as the Northeast Colorado Regional Field Director for the Democratic National Committee in the rural counties of Northeast Colorado.
 
A self-described “independent-minded Western Democrat,” Robin’s personal history is woven of Wyoming fiber and she’s very pleased to be coming home. “I am proud and honored to be invited to lead the Party’s professional staff,” she said. “And I look forward to working with all Wyoming Democrats, especially at the county level. My most essential goal is to help restore our beloved state to the political balance that would guarantee the best future for all our citizens.”
 
Party leaders are especially enthusiastic about Robin’s regard for the state of Wyoming and about the depth of her experience in supporting and developing the most basic party building blocks: the county parties.
 
Mary Hales, former State House member, said, “We are very fortunate to have Robin. She really knows how to do the on-the-ground-thing, working with volunteers.”
 
“I’m excited to have a leader in the state party with family ties to Wyoming, experience in the West, and a background in grass roots,” Pete Gosar, former gubernatorial candidate agreed. “I look forward to working with her.”
 
Robin Van Ausdall’s appointment is effective immediately.
