Sikh American Attorney Announces Run For GOP Leadership

HI INDIA NEWS DESK

SAN FRANCISCO, CA- California attorney Harmeet Dhillon, a Trump supporter, whose firm represents the former president, is running for the position of the Republican National Committee chair. Announcing her bid on Fox News on Dec. 5, Dhillon, who described herself as “a fighter,” told host Tucker Carlson that “Republicans are tired of losing and I think we really need to radically reshape our leadership in order to win.” The GOP “can’t keep running elections like we did in the ’90s and the 2000s,” she said, stressing the need “to modernize to compete with the Democrats dollar for dollar in the ways they fundraise, the way they deliver their ballots to the ballot boxes.” She also added the need to revamp messaging to be “fresh and positive and not just reactive to news cycles and what the Democrats are doing.”

A longtime conservative activist, Dhillon has served as chair of the Republican National Lawyers Association and as a chair of the San Francisco Republican Party. She is currently a national committeewoman of the RNC for California.

An acerbic critic of liberals and an entrenched advocate of Republican pet causes, real and imaginary, the Sikh American is a Fox News fixture. She has appeared on the network’s prime-time shows to discuss hot-button topics like vaccine mandates, Hunter Biden’s laptop and the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida estate. Apart from Trump, her law firm has represented several top MAGA officials, including Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

In a letter sent to the 168 members of the RNC, Dhillon wrote that she came to the decision of running for the chair after “much prayer and discussions” with her family, law partners and nonprofit colleagues. “No one can doubt the fact that the base of our great party desperately years for a change in leadership,” read the letter.
