July 11, 2018

One of the biggest super PACs that backed Donald Trump’s election is refashioning itself to serve as his main outside ally, planning to put pressure on Democrats and Republicans alike who try to stymie the new president’s agenda.

The group is now aiming to tap those contributors — which includes both billionaires and small-dollar givers — to finance a permanent effort to support Trump’s legislative plans, officials told The Washington Post.

Super PAC tries to plug holes in Trump’s ground campaign

September 15, 2016

Great America PAC is rolling through some of campaign 2016’s most contested states, opening offices and registering voters. In a presidential race where Trump has paid little attention to the ground game, this outside group has decided the best way to support the GOP nominee is to take such matters into its own hands.

“We look at it as, how do we fix the missing pieces of the campaign?” said Ed Rollins, lead strategist for Great America.

The group is using a different playbook — both in how it raises and spends money — than the usual super PAC. It has struggled to land major donors, but has toiled since January, making it one of the most senior and active outside groups in the Trump orbit.

Trump Super PAC Spent Millions on TV and Voter Outreach

August 4, 2016

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign has spent nothing since May on TV advertising and little on other media. But the real estate tycoon has backing from a PAC that spent millions in June and July to attack Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and convince voters that he will bolster the country’s military prowess.

Great America PAC spent $3.8 million on TV ads, phone and online voter contact and voter data in June and July, according to Ad Age analysis of Federal Election Commission filings submitted by the group last month.

Ads from the organization, which counts veteran GOP campaign lead Ed Rollins as its top strategist and LendingTree founder and CEO Doug Lebda as co-chair, support Mr. Trump’s promises to “Rebuild our military and make America respected in the world again,” “Defeat ISIS and radical Islam,” and “Stop the scourge of illegal immigration by securing our borders and building a wall that Mexico will pay for.”

Ed Rollins Statement on Karen Handel’s Victory in GA-06

June 23, 2017

“Karen Handel should be commended for a hard-fought victory tonight. She withstood an unrelenting onslaught of record-shattering liberal special interest money from across the country and still came out on top by addressing issues the actual voters in the 6th District of Georgia care about. She’ll now be able to deliver real results for her district and work with President Trump to pass a pro-growth, America First agenda through Congress,” said Rollins.

“Great America PAC was proud to play an important role in Handel’s victory by promoting President Trump’s successes within the district and a targeted voter turnout campaign, featuring the 6th District’s favorite son Newt Gingrich, that helped drive Handel voters to the polls and put her over the top,” continued Rollins.

“Tonight’s victory is a clear sign Democrats still haven’t gotten the message: the people are tired of being lectured to and told what to think and do by establishment elites and DC Democrats who are out of touch with the rest of America,” concluded Rollins.
