RNC and Donald J. Trump Campaign Announce Joint Agreements

Lew Eisenberg selected to lead fundraising effort for Trump Victory along with Trump Campaign Finance Chair Steven Mnuchin

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus announced the RNC and Donald J. Trump for President have entered into joint fundraising agreements (JFAs). The agreements will allow the Donald J. Trump for President campaign to raise funds the national party will use to elect Republicans at all levels this cycle.
 
“The RNC is excited to team up with the Trump campaign to expand the robust ground, data, and digital operation we have in place to elect Republicans up and down the ballot,” said Chairman Priebus. “Donald Trump knows the importance of keeping our Republican majorities at the local, state, and national level, and these joint fundraising agreements are another vital step in making that happen. Donald Trump has received millions more votes than any candidate in the history of the Republican Party and we are confident that will carry forward into the general election.”
 
Mr. Trump said, “We are pleased to have this partnership in place with the national party. By working together with the RNC to raise support for Republicans everywhere, we are going to defeat Hillary Clinton, keep Republican majorities in Congress and in the states, and Make America Great Again.”

RNC Finance Chairman Lew Eisenberg has been selected to be the Finance Chair of Trump Victory.  Eisenberg will work closely with Trump Campaign Finance Chair Steven Mnuchin to ensure a successful fundraising apparatus through November.
 
“Lew Eisenberg is going to do an outstanding job leading this effort,” said Chairman Priebus. “Lew has already helped the RNC raise a record $135 million in support this cycle, and I have every confidence his track record of success will continue in this new role.”
