Resignation Statement of RNC Co-Chair Drew Mckissick

WASHINGTON — Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Drew McKissick released the following statement:

Since I was a member of College Republicans, I looked up to then RNC Chairman Lee Atwater and admired his ability to build a successful political organization and win campaigns. I knew that working in our Party and making sure that it could succeed was something that I wanted to do.

I'm honored to have had the privilege to serve as RNC Co-Chair for this past year, as well as to have worked with so many grassroots leaders to help make our party successful. It's what drives me.

And of course being willing to put self aside for the sake of building a team and focusing on winning is a big part of being successful. With that in mind, I'm submitting my resignation as Co-Chair, effective upon the election of my successor at the upcoming Spring Training in Houston.

I look forward to working with the RNC and President Trump's team to make sure that we WIN this November by taking back the White House, the Senate and maintaining our majority in the House of Representatives.

My pledge is to do anything that I can to work together and make that a reality.”
