LOFTIN NAMED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Chairman Chris Whittington Has
Confidence New Director Will Help Party Grow in
Strength and Numbers
BATON ROUGE – Britton Loftin has
been named Executive Director of the Louisiana
Democratic Party, according to Chairman Chris
Whittington.
Loftin replaces Danny Ford, who has
begun work as a political consultant in the
private sector.
Hired as a field organizer in 2006,
Loftin helped create a network of issue-based
and grassroots campaigns across 29 parishes in
north Louisiana while strengthening local and
parish Democratic community involvement. Having
been named Field Director in 2007, Loftin went
on to forge lasting coalitions among educators,
labor leaders, volunteers and legislators in
efforts to enhance relationships within the
state Democratic Party.
Prior to joining the Louisiana
Democratic Party, Loftin spent years in his
native Mississippi managing campaigns at all
levels of government. Loftin has extensive
experience in all phases of campaigns from
grassroots initiatives and volunteer
coordination to fundraising and field training.
“I am very pleased with our selection of
Britton Loftin as our new Executive Director.
In a year of important campaigns that are vital
to all Democrats, Loftin comes to the position
without the need for on-the-job training. He
knows the players, works very well with the
staff and has the respect and support of our
Executive Committee members and Democrats
across the state. Both myself and our Executive
Committee feel assured Loftin will help the
Party continue to progress and strengthen under
his leadership,” said Louisiana Democratic
Party Chairman Chris
Whittington.
In light of
Loftin’s promotion, the Louisiana Democratic
Party is now accepting resumes to fill the
position of Field Director. For more
information on the position, including job
description and requirements, interested
applicants may visit the Louisiana Democratic
Party website at www.lademo.org. The deadline to
submit resumes is Monday, April 7,
2008.
