RNC Re-Elects Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
Poised to Become Longest-Serving Woman as RNC Chair
WASHINGTON — Today, members of the Republican National Committee (RNC) re-elected Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to a second term. McDaniel, the second woman ever elected chair of the RNC, is the first woman to be elected twice to the position. By the end of her second term, she will become the longest-serving woman as RNC chair. McDaniel’s re-election vote was unanimous.
"I am deeply grateful to have the full support of the RNC members for a second term," said Chairwoman McDaniel. "We’ve accomplished so much together, and I look forward to working with the members and our newly elected leadership on another successful presidential election cycle. Over the next two years, we will build upon our historic investments to grow our Party, engage with voters, and re-elect President Trump in 2020."
About Chairwoman McDaniel
Under Chairwoman McDaniel’s leadership, the RNC raised record funds, made its largest-ever ground game investment, and defied history by gaining seats in the Senate during the 2018 election cycle. President Trump asked Chairwoman McDaniel to continue to lead the RNC through the 2020 election cycle thanks to her record of results for the Republican Party.
Previously, Chairwoman McDaniel served as the chair of the Michigan Republican Party, where she helped deliver the state for President Donald J. Trump and the Party for the first time since 1988. She began her career in politics as a grassroots activist, serving as a precinct delegate, a district committee executive member, a state party committeewoman in Michigan, an RNC committeewoman and as a national delegate to the 2012 Republican National Convention representing Michigan’s 11th District.
