It consisted of one member from each state and territory to serve for four years. Each national convention since then has followed the precedent of equal representation for each state or territory, regardless of population. From 1924 to 1952, there was a national committeeman and national committeewoman from each state and U.S. possession, and from Washington, D.C.. In 1952, committee membership was expanded to include the state party chairs of states that voted Republican in the preceding presidential election, have a Republican majority in their congressional delegation ( U.S. representatives and senators ), or have Republican governors. By 1968, membership reached 145. As of 2011, the RNC has 168 members. The only person to have chaired the RNC and later become U.S. president is George H.W. Bush. A number of the chairs of the RNC have been state governors. In 2013, the RNC began an outreach campaign toward American youth and minority voters, after studies showed these groups generally perceived that the Republican Party did not care about their concerns.

On January 30, 2009, Steele won the chairmanship of the RNC in the sixth round, with 91 votes to Dawson 's 77. Source : CQPolitics, and Poll Pundit.

Gov. Michael Steele described the party as being at a crossroads and not knowing what to do. `` I think I may have some keys to open the door, some juice to turn on the lights, '' he said. Six people ran for the 2009 RNC Chairmanship : Steele, Ken Blackwell, Mike Duncan, Saul Anuzis, Katon Dawson and Chip Saltsman. After Saltsman 's withdrawal, there were only five candidates during the hotly contested balloting January 30, 2009. After the third round of balloting that day, Steele held a small lead over incumbent Mike Duncan of Kentucky, with 51 votes to Duncan 's 44. Shortly after the announcement of the standings, Duncan dropped out of contention without endorsing a candidate. Ken Blackwell, the only other African - American candidate, dropped out after the fourth ballot and endorsed Steele, though Blackwell had been the most socially conservative of the candidates and Steele had been accused of not being `` sufficiently conservative. '' Steele picked up Blackwell 's votes. After the fifth round, Steele held a ten - vote lead over Katon Dawson, with 79 votes, and Saul Anuzis dropped out. After the sixth vote, he won the chairmanship of the RNC over Dawson by a vote of 91 to 77. Mississippi Governor and former RNC chair Haley Barbour has suggested the party will focus its efforts on congressional and gubernatorial elections in the coming years rather than the next presidential election. `` When I was chairman of the Republican National Committee the last time we lost the White House in 1992 we focused exclusively on 1993 and 1994. And at the end of that time, we had both houses of Congress with Republican majorities, and we 'd gone from 17 Republican governors to 31. So anyone talking about 2012 today does n't have their eye on the ball. What we ought to worry about is rebuilding our party over the next year and particularly in 2010, '' Barbour said at the November 2008 Republican Governors conference. 2011 RNC Chairman election Main article : 2011 Republican National Committee chairmanship election Chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus at the Western Republican Leadership Conference in October 2011 in Las Vegas Michael Steele ran for re-election at the 2011 RNC winter meeting. Other candidates were Reince Priebus, Republican Party of Wisconsin Chairman, Ann Wagner, former Ambassador to Luxembourg, Saul Anuzis, former Republican Party Chairman of Michigan, and Maria Cino, former acting Secretary of Transportation under George W. Bush. Steele 's critics increasingly called on him to step down as RNC Chair when his term ended in 2011. A debate for Chairman hosted by Americans for Tax Reform took place on January 3 at the National Press Club. The election for Chairman took place January 14 at the RNC 's winter meeting with Reince Priebus winning on the seventh ballot after Steele and Wagner withdrew.

He was re-elected to a third term in 2015, setting him up to become the longest serving head of the party ever. After winning in November 2016, President - Elect Donald Trump designated Priebus as his White House Chief of Staff, to begin upon his taking office in January 2017 ; David Bossie of Maryland was seen as a potential next RNC chairman. Trump then recommended Ronna Romney McDaniel as RNC Chairwoman and she was elected to that role by the RNC in January 2017.
