Edith Jorge-Tuñón has over a decade of political experience, ranging from overseeing the national

Coalitions program at the Republican National Committee during the 2018 midterm elections, to

directing national field efforts at the Koch Network’s LIBRE Initiative during the 2016 election

cycle. Formerly the Political Director for Governor Susana Martinez’s re-election

campaign, Edith built a grassroots program that helped win the New Mexico statehouse for the

first time in over 50 years. Prior to that, she helped New Jersey Governor Chris Christie secure the

Hispanic vote during his re-election campaign by 51%, and in 2020 led the Political Department

at the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) in holding 59 legislative chambers across

the nation and picking up two more during a half a billion-dollar redistricting cycle. Edith is

currently the Deputy Executive Director at the RSLC; the only national organization committed to

electing republicans at the state level.
