KANSAS DEMOCRATIC PARTY HIRES NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Kansas Democratic Party hires former Alabama Democratic Party Director of Development, Matthew Brown to serve as the new Executive Director for the State Party.

"We went through an extensive search process to find the right person to serve as Executive Director which included candidates from across the state and the country." Kansas Democratic Party Chair Jeanna Repass said. "We had a very talented group of candidates and after multiple rounds of interviews with numerous Democratic Party leaders and stakeholders; Matthew was clearly the top choice for the job."

Matthew Brown brings a wealth of experience in winning races and party growth with him to Kansas. He was integral in the Alabama Democrats' first legislative net gain since 2010, growing large-dollar and institutional fundraising by over 850%. Brown helped the ADP re-engage lapsed party allies and built strategic new partnerships during his tenure with the Party. In addition, he managed and consulted on multiple Democratic and Democratic-aligned campaigns with an 83%-win rate including unseating multi- term incumbents and flipping control of Alabama's largest municipality's city council away from a popular Republican Mayor.

"We are very excited about what Matthew will bring to Kansas as we prepare for the 2026 election cycle and the growth of the Democratic State Party now and into the future."
