The Democratic Party of Arkansas named Ted Dick as its new executive director, replacing long-time current ED Candace Martin, who is moving out of state.

Dick has served as executive director of the Montana Democratic Party and he headed the Olympia, Washington-based Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.

“The Democratic Party of Arkansas has hired Ted Dick of Montana as our new executive director. Ted has extensive experience as a campaign manager for state and federal candidates,” said Vince Insalaco, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Arkansas. “Ted is a skilled fundraiser, grassroots organizer, and we are thrilled he has agreed to come work with us.”

“He will hit the ground running to help us mount strong challenges and win seats for Arkansas Democrats in 2016,” Insalaco added.
