The Republican National Committee’s chief of staff will be stepping down from his role months ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
RNC chief of staff Mike Reed told employees in an email Tuesday, “I write today to let you know that this month will be my last at the RNC.”
Reed — who noted he spent two decades “working almost exclusively on Republican campaigns, including four years working right alongside President Trump’s White House and campaign team” — stated he is leaving the RNC to work in the private sector. He cited several personal reasons for his departure, including his “growing family.”
“In the chaotic world of D.C. and the RNC, Mike Reed has been a calm and steady hand as our chief of staff,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “I will miss having Mike guide me and our staff, but I am so happy and excited for his next adventure and that he will be able to spend more time with his wife Alice and their beautiful children.”
