What’s interesting is that I don’t think they realize that only 168 People can vote for chairman, and most of them stick to their sides; there's no real competitiveness. So someone just saying they are going to run for it when they have no clue how the inner operations work they will lose. I’ve been in this circle and have studied this for 3 years.
Now since 2024, Most of the RNC members are Genuinely some of the most intelligent attorneys, and grassroot activists involved in a major party. Most people’s gripes are with top leadership not with the actual members.
29 today. A lot has changed since the kid who grew up in Delaware with big ideas and no real understanding yet of where life would lead.
To my younger self: you have no idea yet how many people you’ll help, how many rooms you’ll walk into, or how strong you’ll become. Keep that smile, keep that heart, and don’t lose the belief that you can do big things.
This past year especially has been a reminder that growth doesn’t always happen loudly. Sometimes it happens in long meetings, hard decisions, difficult seasons, late nights, unanswered questions, and moments where you have to trust yourself even when others don’t fully see the vision yet.
At 29, I’m grateful for every lesson, every setback, every opportunity, and every person who has been part of the journey. From politics, community work, campaigns, creative projects, and public service to the friendships, mentors, and family who continue to push me forward, none of it is taken for granted.
I’ve learned that leadership is less about titles and more about consistency. Showing up. Taking responsibility. Staying calm under pressure. Continuing to build even when it would be easier to quit.
There’s still a lot I want to accomplish. Bigger goals. Bigger impact. Bigger purpose. But I can honestly say I’m entering 29 more focused, more confident, and more determined than ever before.
The best chapters are still ahead.
Here’s to 29. 🎉
Explain the ‘grift.’ Seriously. I was there I know firsthand how hard we worked across this country during COVID and beyond. That meant sleepless nights, being deplatformed, physically attacked and even chased down the street by radical activists.
You don’t have to like someone, but throwing around ‘grifter’ without facts doesn’t hold up.
🚨🇺🇸 9 REPUBLICANS BREAK RANKS, HELP DEMOCRATS BYPASS SPEAKER JOHNSON TO REVIVE OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES
The House voted 221-205 to advance a bill reviving enhanced Obamacare subsidies, with nine GOP members joining every Democrat to bypass Speaker Johnson through a discharge petition.
The nine who crossed:
Brian Fitzpatrick (PA).
Rob Bresnahan (PA).
Tom Kean (NJ).
Nick LaLota (NY).
Mike Lawler (NY).
Ryan Mackenzie (PA).
Max Miller (OH).
Maria Elvira-Salazar (FL).
David Valadao (CA).
Only four actually signed the discharge petition.
The other five just voted yes when it mattered.
The bill: A clean three-year extension of premium tax credits that expired last month.
The argument for: Millions face steep premium spikes without it.
The argument against: Billions more flow to insurance companies already posting record profits.
The final House vote is tomorrow.
Then it faces a skeptical Senate and a likely Trump veto.
This doesn't fix healthcare.
It doesn't address why the system is expensive for patients and lucrative for middlemen.
It's a temporary patch that kicks the can down the road.
Three from Pennsylvania. Two from New York.
The usual suspects from swing districts.
