Phoenix, AZ—Arizona Republican Party executive director Sean McCaffrey said he was thankful for Republican victories across Arizona in the 2008 elections, and announced he would be concluding his tenure at the state party at the end of January 2009.
“We were successful this election cycle because we had strong candidates, a strong message, and a strong organization that stayed focused regardless of what the opposition sent our way,” McCaffrey said.
During his tenure as executive director, the Arizona Republican Party:
· Increased its legislative majority in the State House from 33 to 35 Republicans;
· Increased its legislative majority in the State Senate from 17 to 18 Republicans;
· Increased elected Republicans statewide at the local and county levels, including an increase in elected Precinct Committeemen of more than 17-percent;
· Increased the size of the donor-base by more than 23% (more than 5,000 net new donors).
“We were outspent 5-to-1 or more by the Democrats in our target districts but the team Sean McCaffrey assembled and the operations we put into place simply overwhelmed the money Democrats were throwing into the campaigns,” said Randy Pullen, Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party. “If you run smarter races and better campaigns, we proved it was possible to close the resource gap.”
McCaffrey said he intended to remain in Arizona in order to focus on government relations, communications and public affairs opportunities, including Republican campaigns. McCaffrey said he may set up his own communications and lobbying firm, or join an existing company.

Pullen’s team here at the Arizona Republican Party and I’m very proud of the accomplishments we’ve achieved,” McCaffrey said. “I look forward to working closely with Chairman Pullen and Republicans across the state to build on those victories in the future. We clearly have the opportunity to expand these majorities and that’s very exciting.”
