The Alabama Republican Party has a new chairman.
John Wahl, a butterfly farmer and state GOP officer, was elected and will replace longtime chairwoman Terry Lathan who did not seek a fourth term.
Wahl has served as the ALGOP senior vice chairman and was a member of Sen. Tommy Tuberville's transition team.
Wahl made a statement saying the party's values of free speech, equal rights, family values, and fair elections are under attack.
