The Volusia County Republican Executive Committee has elected a new chairman for the Volusia GOP.

Maryann Pistilli, of New Smyrna Beach, was elected as chairman during its annual reorganization meeting on Saturday, Dec. 14, at the Daytona International Speedway. 

"Maryann has been on the Trump Train since 2015 and she’s knocked on some 300 thousand doors over the past decade on behalf of Republicans and the America First agenda," a Volusia GOP newsletter stated.

Pistilli was also credited with developing volunteer teams that helped bolster the Republican vote in 2017 while the committee was under the leadership of the late Tony Ledbetter, who died in 2019. More recently, she led statewide voter registration efforts and served as President-elect Donald Trump's Florida State Campaign director.

She succeeds outgoing Chairman Paul Deering. 

Serving as Volusia GOP vice chairman is Duncan DeMarsh, of DeLand, who is a legislative aide to Florida Rep. Chase Tramont. Cathy DiBernardino and John Reid will serve another term as secretary and treasurer, respectively.
