The Rhode Island Republican Party said that Allyn Meyers of Tiverton was elected as the party's new chairman.

"I am deeply humbled and honored to have been elected chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Party," Meyers said.

The new chairman thanked Acting Chair Niyoka Powell and the party's executive committee, as well as the party's volunteers, leaders, and officials.

He also said that he would have an "open approach to leadership" and would push party-building under his leadership.

"In Rhode Island, we win when we win together," Meyers said. "Victory comes from unifying behind our shared platform and supporting the nominees who emerge from fair, hard-fought primaries."
