Ronna McDaniel doubled her salary as GOPChairwoman, despite series of losses
McDaniel, who was elected as chairwoman in 2017, was paid $122,582 in her first year but made $358,431 from January 2022 through November 2022, according to Federal Election Commission data.The highest yearly salary she received from the RNC was $410,640, which she got paid in 2020. McDaniel's recent salaries easily outstrip the $257,782 former Chairman Reince Priebus made in 2016.
The pay increases for McDaniel came as the GOP lost the majority in the House after the 2018 midterm elections and lost the Senate and White House after the 2020 elections. McDaniel is facing a challenge for reelection as RNC chairwoman after a lackluster showing by the GOP in the 2022 midterm elections, with Republicans only winning back the House by a narrow margin.
Since Donald Trump upset Hillary Clinton in 2016, Republicans have struggled to replicate nationwide electoral success.
