Elizabeth Harrington Named RNC Spokesperson
WASHINGTON —
The
Republican
National
Committee
(RNC)
has named Elizabeth Harrington
the Party’s new national spokesperson. Ms. Harrington’s years of media
and communications experience make her well-equipped to advocate for
President Trump and the Republican Party.
"Elizabeth’s extensive communications background will be a tremendous asset as she spreads the Republican message to Americans throughout the nation," said RNC Chief of Staff Richard Walters. "We are excited for Elizabeth to take on this role and play an integral part of our Party’s ongoing commitment to supporting President Trump’s winning agenda."
"I am thrilled to join the incredible team at the RNC at the start of an exciting reelection campaign," said Ms. Harrington. "The Republican Party led by President Donald Trump has an amazing and unprecedented record of accomplishment, and I am honored to help share the countless stories of America’s revival during the Trump presidency."
Harrington joins the RNC from the Washington Free Beacon, where she was a senior writer with a breadth of television and radio experience. Her reporting career shined a light on the Democrats' extreme agenda, provided oversight of taxpayer spending, and exposed government waste, fraud, and abuse. She is a graduate of Temple University.
