Incoming RSLC President Edith Jorge-Tuñon said of the announcement, “In 2024, state Republicans nationwide were able to achieve success because they ran on a commonsense approach of addressing the most pressing issues on the minds of the American people, with a promise to deliver strong and meaningful change. The 2025-2026 election cycle is an opportunity for the RSLC to enhance our efforts by elevating the work of our state Republican elected officials and reminding the American people that state Republicans are the ones who can be trusted to govern and create a more prosperous America for all. There is no doubt in my mind that this team is battle-tested and ready to handle the responsibility of delivering wins for state Republicans across the country in what will be an incredibly challenging election cycle. I look forward to advancing the already stellar reputation of this committee.”
