Well known conservative Kirby Wilbur is resigning as the chairman of the Washington State Republicans, the party has announced.

“I am resigning as the chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, effective today at 5:00 PM,” Wilbur said in a news release distributed to reporters only a few minutes ago. “”I have been offered a five-year contract with the Young America’s Foundation that I would be foolish not to accept. I will be moving to the “other” Washington within the next couple of months to write this next chapter of my life.”

“It has been an honor to serve as chairman of the WSRP since January 2011. We have had many successes and I have had some failures. The Party has a good crop of up-and-coming leaders, and a strong staff, and it will continue to move forward no matter whose hand is on the helm,” he added.

Wilbur has served as chairman of the Washington State Republicans since he ousted former state senator Luke Esser from that position in 2011. Esser, ironically, became party chair after losing his state Senate seat to Rodney Tom in 2006.
