Ronna McDaniel Appointed as New Chairman of the Competitiveness Coalition

Ronna McDaniel Steps into Leadership at Competitiveness Coalition

In a significant shift in leadership, the Competitiveness Coalition has announced the appointment of Ronna McDaniel as its new Chairman. This announcement comes as the coalition aims to further its mission of advocating for American competitiveness in the global arena. McDaniel, previously the chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), succeeds Scott Brown, a former U.S. Senator and Ambassador, marking a new era for the organization.

Founded in 2022 and supported by the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), the Competitiveness Coalition has focused on raising awareness about the perceived issues of government overreach and regulatory actions, particularly those led by former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan. With 24 member organizations, the coalition works diligently to ensure that the voice of innovation and consumer welfare remains prominent in national policy discussions.

"I'm thrilled to lead a coalition deeply committed to maintaining America's strong and innovative technology sector," stated McDaniel during her introductory remarks. Her leadership comes at a critical time as the country seeks to recover from the economic impacts of the previous administration and regulatory policies that critics say stifle growth and innovation. She asserts that fostering an environment that supports both current and future innovators is vital for the country’s economic health.

The coalition aims to counteract what McDaniel describes as movements from various factions that threaten to revert the economic progress made since the end of the last administration. According to her, the objective is clear: to "Make America Competitive Again" and ensure the country’s economic revitalization continues on a positive trajectory.

Brandon Arnold, Executive Vice President of the NTU, expressed excitement about McDaniel's leadership, noting, "The Competitiveness Coalition's mission has never been more vital, and we're excited to have Chairman McDaniel get started. Her extensive experience and connections gained from her political journey uniquely position her to amplify our message effectively."

During her tenure as Chair of the RNC from 2017 to 2024, McDaniel established herself as a formidable political figure, being only the second woman to lead the party. Under her stewardship, the RNC notably raised over $1.5 billion and executed significant investment initiatives aimed at ground-level engagement and election integrity. Her political acumen and focus on broadening grassroots fundraising garnered attention, making McDaniel a prominent name within Republican circles.

Beyond her political endeavors, McDaniel is also a mother of two and the third of seven children in her family. She holds a Bachelor's degree in English from Brigham Young University and is married to Patrick McDaniel. Her personal commitment to family values resonates with many constituents, adding to her relatability as a leader.
