Mass­a­chu­setts GOP ousts long­time RNC leader amid state par­ty shake-up

Mass­a­chu­setts Repub­li­cans vot­ed to remove the gen­er­al chair­man of the Repub­li­can Nation­al Con­ven­tion on Sat­ur­day in an upset at a state com­mit­tee meet­ing near Boston.
For­mer Repub­li­can Nation­al Com­mit­tee Trea­sur­er Ron Kauf­man was removed from his posi­tion as a nation­al com­mit­tee­man and replaced by Brad Wyatt in a 37–35 vote, accord­ing to Politi­co.
The stun­ning vote meant the oust­ing of a GOP pow­er play­er, who had spent decades work­ing between Wash­ing­ton, D.C., and Mass­a­chu­setts. Kauf­man has worked for for­mer Pres­i­dent George H.W. Bush and advised for­mer GOP pres­i­den­tial nom­i­nee Mitt Rom­ney on his cam­paign.
Kauf­man also served as the RNC’s trea­sur­er but decid­ed not to seek reelec­tion in 2022. Although he has been removed by state Repub­li­cans as a nation­al com­mit­tee­man, he will still be the chair­man of the 2028 Repub­li­can Nation­al Con­ven­tion in Hous­ton.
