After many years of regular posting, we have decided to retire the RNLA blog. Don't worry, we will keep all of our old posts live on our site for your reference. To stay up to date with all things RNLA, follow us on X or check out our News Page.

The Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) congratulates Federal Election Commissioner Trey Trainor on receiving board certification in Legislative and Campaign Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS). Trainor is one of only 14 lawyers in the state of Texas to earn this prestigious certification, which recognizes a high level of expertise in the regulation of legislative institutions, campaign funding and operations, public integrity, and related constitutional issues.

Since being elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) in March, Michael Whatley has refocused the Party on election integrity. He recently announced the RNC has exceeded his goal of recruiting 100,000 volunteers for the Protect the Vote Campaign. 

Despite attempts to portray himself as a political moderate and folksy Midwesterner, Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly-tapped running mate is wildly out of step with American families. Gov. Tim Walz is facing major pushback from parent groups over his progressive record on children’s health, education, and crime.

President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, coupled with former President Donald Trump’s expanding lead in recent national polls and the anticipation of a post-convention bump, has many Republicans riding high. But this election is far from over. That’s why the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) needs you to be a part of the effort to deploy volunteer election attorneys to battleground states. 

On Monday afternoon, President Donald Trump announced Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), a fellow Republican lawyer, as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election. Vance’s working-class background, which he famously wrote about in his award-winning memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," reinforces Republicans as the party who fights for hard-working families, now, and long into the future.

In the days since President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, Democrat Party elites are trying every which way they can to get Joe off the ticket. The so-called “save democracy” party, which claims to fight for voter rights, is literally trying to disenfranchise the 14 million voters who cast a vote for Biden in the Democrat primaries earlier this year. Despite the obvious hypocrisy, party leaders are still considering nullifying those primary votes and imposing a candidate of their choosing.

Yes, President Joe Biden performed shockingly bad in last week’s debate (“shockingly” for those who either hadn’t been paying attention or had only consumed a deliberate coverup by the lying mainstream media for the last four years and had no idea of Biden’s declining health).

But Biden didn’t just lose. 

Former President Donald Trump gave an incredible debate performance and won rather decisively, despite the amount of pretzel-twisting or mental gymnastics it takes some to argue otherwise.

A newly-released poll by Monmouth University reveals former President Trump’s guilty verdict in DA Alvin Bragg’s politically motivated prosecution may have little impact on voters, but expert witnesses in a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing say the trial sets a dangerous precedent that could have far-reaching implications for not only our justice system, but for future elections.

For nearly 20 years, a complicated web of leftist non-profit groups has quietly, but effectively influenced presidential elections, federal judicial nominations, and issues ranging from environmental extremism, to abortion and criminal justice reform. The dark-money network’s “mothership,” as The Atlantic called it, is Arabella Advisors. In 2021, The Atlantic called Arabella’s network “the massive progressive dark-money group you’ve never heard of,” adding, “Democrats have quietly pulled ahead of Republicans in untraceable political spending. One group helped make it happen.”
