The Leon County Democratic Executive Committee elected its new chairman last night. It’s Ryan Ray, the aide to Tallahassee City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow.
Most people would call the DEC chairmanship a challenging job.
But Ray urged his fellow Democrats to be “focused, organized and able to compete again.”
He’s a former reporter who has worked on a number of Democratic campaigns, including managing Matlow’s first run for the city commission in 2018.
Ray won the DEC chairmanship with 70 percent of the committee’s vote.
Monica O’Neal, a longtime officer of the DEC, was elected vice chair.
