RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Elected to a Third Term  
 
WASHINGTON – Today at the RNC Winter Meeting in San Diego, CA, Chairman Reince Priebus was reelected to a third term. Chairman Priebus will become the longest serving Chairman in modern history and is only the seventh person to serve four years as Republican Party Chairman. Chairman Priebus was first elected Chairman on January 14, 2011, and reelected on January 25, 2013.
 
Chairman Priebus oversaw the RNC’s efforts during a historic victory for Republicans in 2014. Thanks to Chairman Priebus’ leadership, the RNC made important gains across demographic groups and an unprecedented investment in data. Most importantly, Chairman Priebus transformed the RNC into a year-round party.
 
Fundraising has also been a hallmark of Chairman Priebus’ past terms. The RNC easily beat the DNC in fundraising for the 2014 election cycle, bringing in $176.9 million through October 15, 2014. Chairman Priebus’ leadership and emphasis on fundraising has allowed the RNC to offer greater support to Republican candidates and state parties.
 
Chairman Priebus has already begun laying the groundwork for 2016, working hard to improve the debates, the primaries, and the convention.
 
“I am incredibly humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve as RNC Chairman for a third term,” said Chairman Priebus. “We will build on our success of 2014 to have a successful 2016. I look forward to ensuring that we have the best possible operation in 2016 and I thank all of the hard working candidates, committees, and dedicated volunteers and investors for their support in this effort.”
