Paul Protic, chairman of the Loudoun County Republican Committee, announced Monday evening he will not seek the position again next year.

Protic, who headed the local party for two years, said in a statement that he will take a break from his intense political activity to “refocus” his attention on his wife and six children.

“I have learned a lot and have seen your dedication to our values, the strength of your spirit … and your ability to be resilient and learn from victories and defeats,” Protic said. “And I look forward to working for our GOP candidates in the future.”

Local Republicans are scheduled to choose a chairman, as they do every two years, at a mass meeting tentatively scheduled for March.

Protic’s announcement comes nearly three weeks after a Nov. 6 election in which four Republican incumbents on the Loudoun Board of Supervisors lost to Democrats, and Democrats took control of the state Senate from the GOP
