Alabama’s Vicki Drummond elected Republican National Committee secretary

Alabama’s influence in national politics is on the rise.

On Friday, Alabama Republican National Committee (RNC) Committeewoman Vicki Drummond was elected as the secretary of the RNC, joining the organization’s four-person national leadership team led by RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel.

A native and resident of Jasper, Drummond has served as Alabama’s RNC committeewoman since 2012. In this role, she represents the Yellowhammer State on the RNC, along with Committeeman Paul Reynolds and Alabama Republican Party Chairwoman Terry Lathan.

In a statement, Lathan congratulated Drummond, saying the ALGOP is “proud of Vicki and her selfless service to our state.”

”The Alabama Republican Party is excited to congratulate our Alabama RNC Committeewoman Vicki Drummond on her election as Republican National Committee Secretary. We are extremely proud of Vicki and her selfless service to our state and national Republican Party,” Lathan said.

She added, “We look forward to working with Secretary Drummond and the rest of the Republican National Committee leadership to strengthen our Party ahead of the 2020 election cycle.”

Drummond previously served on the 1988 RNC Platform Committee, was the acting secretary on the RNC Rules Committee and has been a delegate or alternate delegate to five RNC conventions. She is a longtime member of the Alabama Republican Party and is currently on the statewide steering committee. Drummond has also held several leadership roles as a member of the National Federation of Republican Women.
