Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced today the formation of the new Committee on Election Integrity, which will focus on election transparency and ensuring voters have confidence in future election processes.
“Election integrity is one of the most critical issues we face as a Party and as a country. What we saw this past election – states undoing important safeguards, bypassing the proper legislative processes, and changing election laws in the eleventh hour – was deeply troubling and brought chaos and uncertainty to our sacred democratic processes. As RNC Chair, I will not sit idly by and the Party will respond. The RNC will play a crucial role in restoring confidence in our elections, promoting election integrity, and recommending best practices to ensure that future elections are free, fair, and transparent,” McDaniel said in a statement.
The Committee on Election Integrity will be chaired by Florida Republican Party Chairman Joe Gruters, with Ashley MacLeay, National Committeewoman from the District of Columbia, serving as Co-Chair. The full members include:
- Jonelle Fulmer, State Chairman, AR
- Lori Klein Corbin, National Committeewoman, AZ

This past cycle, the RNC ran its most comprehensive legal strategy to date, spending more than $30 million on election protection efforts in battleground states across the country.
The Committee on Election Integrity will continue the work of fighting Democrats’ attempts to change election laws, as they did with dark money in Alaska in 2020. The committee will work closely with state parties and other stakeholders in elections across the country on voting policies and best practices, such as ensuring poll watchers are allowed to properly observe counting processes, and meaningful voter ID laws are codified.
