Joe Gruters was unanimously elected chairman of the Republican National Committee at the RNC summer meeting in Atlanta. Gruters is a Florida state senator and the RNC treasurer and has held Republican roles from local volunteer to chair of the Florida Republican Party over two decades. Gruters framed his chairmanship around winning midterms, expanding Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and preparing for the presidential election. David Bossie praised Gruters' Florida leadership, citing grassroots expansion, flipped voter registration and repeated victories. Gruters' election underscores growing influence of Florida Republicans within the national party and administration.
Joe Gruters, a Florida state senator and current treasurer of the Republican National Committee, has been elected to serve as the RNC's new chairman. At Friday's RNC summer meeting in downtown Atlanta, Gruters was unanimously elected by members to replace Michael Whatley, who is running with President Trump's endorsement for the open U.S. Senate race in North Carolina.
"Today is not about one person," Gruters said. "It is about our mission. The midterms are ahead where we must expand our majority in the House and Senate and continue electing Republicans nationwide, and then we march more towards the presidential election, where the stakes could not be higher."
"As chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, Joe proved what bold, disciplined leadership can accomplish," Bossie said. "He expanded our grassroots army, flipped voter registration and delivered an unbroken string of victories up and down the ballot. That is no accident."
