ATLANTA – Gov. Brian Kemp has been elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) for 2025.
The election of Kemp and Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte as the RGA’s vice chairman took place at the end of the association’s annual conference.
“Republican governors are making commonsense, conservative policies a reality, putting families and children first, and making our states the best places to run a business and raise a family,” Kemp said Wednesday.
“I look forward to working with my fellow Republican governors and President Trump to keep getting the job done for the American people and to add even more Republican governors to our ranks.”
Joining Kemp and Gianforte on the RGA’s 2025 leadership team will be the association’s executive committee: Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, Missouri Gov.-elect Mike Kehoe, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster will serve as the RGA’s policy chair.
Republicans will hold the edge in governor’s mansions next year, 27 to 23 over the Democrats, the same margin as this year.
