9th district GOP Chairman Rebecca Yardley announced Thursday that she will be running for the Chairmanship of the Georgia Republican Party.
“Our Party deserves a chairman who is fully focused on taking the steps required to win Georgia elections,” Yardley said in a press release. “I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible work done on the county and district levels. Now it’s time to have our top leadership at the state match the same energy, concentration, and drive shown by our local members daily.”
Yardley has been an active resident in White County for 21 years and has served as chairman of the Gateway Theatre Company. She was elected as a delegate to the 2020 National Convention in Charlotte, NC. Yardley is also a former Chairman of the White County Republican Party.
“If elected, I pledge to remain conservative, honest, and passionately committed to the wise development of our Party, its infrastructure, and disposition of its resources, '' she said. “Together, we will win the necessary battles in the rural and metro counties to secure victories for Republicans. Let this chairman’s race serve as our notice to the Democrat Party to send their billions of dollars from New York and California elsewhere because their efforts in Georgia will be wasted in 2024.”
Yardley attended Valdosta State University and is employed with the White County School System. She is married to her husband Kris, and she has two daughters, Ansleigh and Peyton. The Yardleys are members of Concord Baptist Church.
