Kemp Elected Chair of Republican Governors Association

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has been elected as the new Chair of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) for 2025, marking a significant leadership role within the Republican Party. Kemp, who succeeds Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, will focus on expanding the number of Republican governors nationwide, working closely with President-elect Donald Trump. Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte will serve as Vice Chair, and the leadership team includes other prominent governors like Arkansas's Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Virginia's Glenn Youngkin. Kemp's leadership comes at a crucial time as the GOP aims to maintain its 27-to-23 majority in governorships, with key elections in New Jersey and Virginia. The RGA is integral in supporting GOP governors and strategizing for future elections, highlighting the importance of Kemp's new role. This leadership shift occurs as Georgia remains a pivotal battleground state in national politics.
