Mega-donor’s daughter takes reins at pro-Trump PAC
The daughter of a Republican mega-donor is now running a top political action committee after its last two leaders left to join Donald Trump’s campaign.
Rebekah Mercer, the daughter of Robert Mercer, has taken charge of the day-to-day operations of the political action committee Make America Number 1, according to reports.
{mosads}The group’s previous head, David Bossie, left the group last week to be Trump’s deputy campaign manager.
Kellyanne Conway, who headed a previous Mercer super-PAC supporting Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), was named Trump’s new campaign manager last month.
Rebekah Mercer has long been the chair of the family’s super-PAC. She is also the director of the Mercer Family Foundation and a Heritage Foundation trustee.
She has close ties to Steve Bannon, who took over the helm of Trump’s campaign last month as its chief executive.
New York hedge funder Robert Mercer donated at least $2 million over the summer to the group, which was repurposed as an anti-Hillary Clinton super-PAC, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
