Georgia U.S. Rep. Brian Jack will lead the National Republican Congressional Committee after being elected its chair. The Republican’s 3rd District covers parts of west-central Georgia.
Jack takes the post as Democrats assume control of both chambers of Congress. In the Nov. 3 midterms, Democrats flipped more than 40 House seats and at least seven Senate seats. Jack succeeds North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson, who lost his seat in the election.
Jack also secured a second term in the House, defeating Democrat Maura Keller with 59% of the vote. He first won the 3rd District in 2024, taking 66% in an open-seat race after then-Rep. Drew Ferguson did not run for reelection. Jack has represented the district since 2025.
Before becoming committee chair, Jack spent two years as the NRCC’s recruitment chair. His earlier experience includes serving as White House director of political affairs during Trump’s first term and as a senior adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
