RNC and Donald J. Trump Campaign Announce Joint Fundraising Agreements

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus announced late Tuesday the RNC and Donald J. Trump for President campaign have entered into joint fundraising agreements. Agreements will allow Trump's campaign to raise funds the national party will use to elect Republicans at all levels this cycle, according to a written statement from Priebus.

“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 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.”

Said Trump, “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 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.

Priebus expressed his confidence in Eisenberg. “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.”
