University Daily Kansan / Monday, September 11. 1980 5 State GOP fills top job By Derek Schmidt Kansan staff writer TOPEKA — The first woman elected chairman of the Kansas Republican Party took office Saturday at a Topeka ceremony. State Rep. Rochelle Chronister, Neodesha, was elected unanimously by members of the Republican State Committee meeting at the downtown Ramada Inn. There were no other nominees. Chronister, 50, succeeds Fred Logan Jr., a Johnson County attorney who announced Aug. 7 that he would step down to devote more time to his family and law practice. He is a partner in a law firm which includes former Gov. Robert Bennett. There has been speculation among politicians, however, that Logan is a potential candidate for leutenant governor in 1990. Lt. Gov. Jack Walker announced last week that he will not seek a second term. Chronister is the first woman elected to the state GOP's top job, though not the first woman to hold that position. Mary Alice Lair of Piqua, now a member of the Republican National Committee, was acting chairman in 1981 when then-chairman Morris Kay of Lawrence resigned to run unsuccessfully for Congress. At Saturday's ceremony, Gov. Mike Haven praised Chronister. "We didn't pick Rochelle Chronister because she's a woman," Hayden said. "We picked her because she's qualified." Chronister, who is serving her sixth two-year term in the State House of Representatives, currently is vice chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and chairman of the Joint Committee on Economic Development. She also served as assistant majority leader from 1983 to 1987. Chronister said she would work to maximize the number of government decisions made at the county and local levels. She also praised Hayden for his support of education, new prisons, drug testing and highway improvements. She dismissed the attacks of critis, apparently referring to recent allegations that Hayden's 1986 campaign received illegal contributions. "There are those who currently see a crisis," Chronister said. "I liken them to New Yorkers who see alligators in the sewers. Once they get through yelling and screaming, they will see there is very little to scream about."
