Counselor to the President KellyAnne Conway at CPAC 2017

Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway (née Fitzpatrick; born January 20, 1967) is an American political activist currently serving as Counselor to the President for Donald Trump and has also been a Republican Party campaign manager, strategist, and pollster who was formerly president and CEO of The Polling Company Inc./Woman Trend.

 

In 2016, Conway endorsed Ted Cruz in the Republican presidential primaries and chaired a pro-Cruz political action committee, Keep the Promise I, which ran advertisements critical of then Republican candidate Donald Trump. On July 1, 2016, after Cruz withdrew from the race, Donald Trump appointed her as a senior advisor, and later campaign manager to his campaign. She was the first woman to successfully run a presidential campaign. On December 22, 2016, Trump announced that Conway would join his administration as Counselor to the President, serving alongside Steve Bannon, assistant to the President and White House chief strategist.
