As of today, Tony Reinhard is the former communications manager for the Arizona Republican Party, and the new executive director of the Maricopa County Republican Party. The move comes after only five months as being spokesman for the Arizona GOP.

"My sincere thanks go out to the AZGOP and the staff here," said Reinhard in an email. "The past five months have been a great learning experience and I look forward to working in conjunction with them to keep Arizona a solidly 'Red State.'"

Sean McCaffrey, executive director of the Arizona Republican Party, will be acting as interim spokesman until a replacement can be found.

"We're very happy Tony has the opportunity to work with the county party," said Brett Mecum, who is the state party's political director.
