Doyle Webb (born December 3, 1955) is an American politician who has served as the Chair of the Arkansas Republican Party since 2008. In 2018, he was the longest-serving chairman in the history of the modern Arkansas Republican Party. Author Ken Coon stated that Webb was “arguably, the [party’s] most successful chairman.” Under Webb’s leadership, the Republican Party took control of the governorship and both houses of the Arkansas General Assembly, as well as claiming all four of Arkansas’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and both U.S. Senate seats. On February 21, 2017, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel appointed Webb to be general counsel for the Republican National Committee (RNC). In that capacity, Webb served on two national committees: as chairman of the RNC Committee on Contests and as co-chair of the RNC Committee on Credentials for the National Convention.In 1986, Webb was elected justice of the peace of Saline County, the first Republican and youngest person ever to hold the position at that time. He served three terms. He previously served in the Arkansas Senate from the 14th district from 1995 to 2002. While in the Senate, Webb served as vice-chair on eleven committees. He sponsored or co-sponsored many bills, including legislation that established the ARKids First healthcare program and one that gave scholarships to children of firefighters who died in the line of duty Webb served as Lieutenant Governor Winthrop Paul Rockefeller’s chief of staff from 2002 to 2007.[1][2]
