contentpilot/introduction

Prior to managing the White House staff, Reince served as one of the longest-serving and winningest Chairmen of the Republican National Committee in history. He oversaw a dramatic turnaround of the RNC, rescuing its finances, repairing its operations, and rebuilding its ground game while raising over one billion dollars. By welcoming new voters and harnessing the power of new technologies, Reince built the infrastructure needed for landslide GOP victories, and he left the RNC as the winningest chairmen of either political party in American history. He was named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in both 2016 and 2017.

Before serving as RNC Chairman, Reince was the most successful chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin creating the framework for one of the most historic election cycles Wisconsin has ever experienced. During his tenure, the state’s Republicans elected Ron Johnson to the U.S. Senate, elected Scott Walker as Governor, gained two additional U.S. House seats, and took back both the State Assembly and State Senate, while also defeating the democratic leaders of both of those chambers.

Reince previously served as a visiting Fellow at Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School, the Chairman of the 2024 Milwaukee Host Committee for the 2024 Republican National Convention, and the Finance Chair and Vice Chair of the 60th Presidential Inauguration of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President - Elect Senator JD Vance.

In addition to his current professional roles, Reince serves as a member of President Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) and the Intelligence Oversight Board, is an officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, and is a member of the LA28 Olympics Board of Directors. Additionally, he is also an exclusive speaker with the world-wide speaking company, The Washington Speakers Bureau, and a political analyst for ABC News.

Reince received his Juris Doctor degree, cum laude, from the University of Miami School of Law. He practiced as a corporate litigator at Michael Best’s Milwaukee office for many years. He was raised in Kenosha, Wisconsin and is a die-hard Packers fan.

Reince and his wife, Sally, have two children, Jack and Grace.
