The Republican National Committee (RNC) has named Ronna Romney McDaniel as its next chairwoman.
President-elect Donald Trump praised Romney, the chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party, as a “highly effective leader.”
“I look forward to her serving as the Party’s Chairman in 2017,” Trump said in a statement Wednesday.
“Ronna has been extremely loyal to our movement and her efforts were critical to our tremendous victory in Michigan, and I know she will bring the same passion to the Republican National Committee.”
Romney was the favored choice of current RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, who will leave his post to fill the role as Trump’s White House chief of staff.
In a statement, Priebus credited Romney with Trump’s winning Michigan. Trump was the first GOP presidential candidate to take the state since George H. W. Bush.
