From a Alabama Republican Party News Release:

ALGOP Political Director Resignation

ALGOP Chairman Bill Armistead and Political Director John Kay issued the following joint statement announcing Kay's resignation as ALGOP Political Director effective September 13, 2013:

Chairman Armistead:

"When John Kay joined ALGOP back in April as Political Director we knew that we had recruited a very bright, young 'up and comer' within the political ranks for the Republican Party.  John has been instrumental in helping ALGOP develop a targeted 2014 campaign and while he will not be around to see it fully implemented we wish him well as he moves on to his next political assignment."

John Kay:

"I am thankful to Chairman Armistead for giving me the opportunity to serve as Political Director for ALGOP. Members of the Steering Committee, State Executive Committee, county parties and Republicans from across Alabama made me feel at home and welcome.

"I have been blessed with an opportunity to help Republicans reclaim the US Senate from the Democrats in 2014, and I will use my abilities to that end. Taking the US Senate next year will be a big step toward reversing the effects of Obama's presidency on our nation and I am excited to play a part in that effort."
