Republican presidential contender Fred Thompson pushed his West Virginia campaign into another gear Thursday, naming a veteran of state GOP politics to be state campaign director.
Friends of Fred Thompson announced Gary Abernathy, an Ohio native and former state Republican Party executive director, will head Thompson’s West Virginia efforts.
“Gary Abernathy brings a wealth of grassroots and communications experience to our organization in West Virginia,” said Randy Enwright, Thompson’s national political director. “His political and communications experience, along with his knowledge of issues specific to West Virginia, will be a great asset to our campaign.”
Thompson is one of 10 GOP presidential contenders to file to participate in the state’s GOP convention. Party members will vote in early January to elect more than 1,400 delegates to the state convention, which will be held early in the day on Feb. 5. The winner gets the votes of 18 state delegates.
