MEET OUR TEAM

Amy Kremer serves as Vice President of Right Turn Strategies. Amy began in politics in 2009 as a founding mother of the modern-day tea party movement. She co-founded Tea Party Patriots and several months later, joined Tea Party Express. 

During Amy’s tenure as Chair of Tea Party Express, from 2010-2014, she raised $29.76 million to support and elect conservatives like Senators Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Ron Johnson, as well as Representatives Mark Meadows, Thomas Massie, and many others to the U.S. Congress. Many of these conservatives are still there today. 

Tea Party Express hosted hundreds of rallies, held 10+ nationwide bus tours, and changed the conservative grassroots landscape, laying the groundwork for the MAGA movement. For the first time, grassroots activists realized the role they could play in elections outside of their congressional districts and states through donations, phone banking, and social media.

In 2010, Tea Party Express played a pivotal role in taking the gavel away from Pelosi and taking back the House, and then in 2014, taking back the Senate.

In April 2013, then-celebrity and firebrand Donald J. Trump reached out to Amy after reading about her in NewsMax Magazine. Trump sent a personalized note, praising Amy of her accomplishments. 

In January 2016, Amy co-founded Great America PAC, the first and largest grassroots organization in support of then-candidate, Donald J. Trump. 

Amy has been one of the loudest and most prominent figures in the media fighting for President Trump. Since descending that golden escalator in 2015, Amy has served as a strong vocal proponent of Trump, facing hostile media on every national TV network, local and national radio shows, podcasts, and more. 

In the summer of 2016, Amy co-founded Women for Trump to push back on the narrative President Trump had a problem with female voters. She worked tirelessly in almost every state in the country, organizing and helping women become involved in politics.

In 2019, Amy co-founded Women for America First to support and help implement the America First agenda. As Chairwoman, one of the most important things Amy did was to give “Angel 

Families” a voice in policy and legislative discussions. In January and February of 2019, Amy took “Angel Families” to the White House to meet with the president and vice president.

In February 2019, “Angel Families” stood in the Rose Garden with President Trump as he announced he would use an emergency declaration to build the border wall. “Angel Families” were able to share with the media their stories about what happened to their deceased loved ones at the hands of criminal illegal immigrants.

After the 2020 election, Amy organized the president’s peaceful speech on January 6th, 2021, at the White House Ellipse. 

Amy has continued working in the great state of Georgia by launching a “Recall of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger” effort and by spearheading a campaign to get rid of the voting machines, in lieu of hand-marked and hand-counted paper ballots.

In October 2023, Amy testified on behalf of President Donald J. Trump to keep him on the ballot in Colorado. 

Most recently, at the GAGOP State Convention in May, 2024, Amy was elected as the RNC National Committeewoman for Georgia. She began her four-year term on July 19, 2024 and is looking forward to representing Georgia on the national level at the RNC. Amy is also looking forward to representing the grassroots on a more local level as a voting member of the GAGOP Executive Committee. 

Kremer considers herself a true Southern Belle, as she was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and attended Auburn University. She is a former Delta Airlines flight attendant and has traveled all over the world. Before flying, Amy had a successful career in real estate in the Atlanta market.

Kylie Jane Kremer is Of Counsel to Right Turn Strategies. Kylie is a true Southern Belle, from

Atlanta, Georgia. Kremer studied business at Georgia Southern University and the University of

Alabama. Kremer got her start in politics while still in college, working with Tea Party Express on

hundreds of Congressional and Senatorial races across the country. For five years, she worked

hand-in-hand with the Chairman of Tea Party Express to take back the House in 2010, as well as worked to elect conservative Senators Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz.

As a young female millennial, Kremer became disenchanted with the political establishment and

realized her voice was not being represented. She transitioned from political activity to media,

taking a job as a producer for The Sean Hannity Radio Show. There, Kremer held a key role in the country's number one national radio show.

In early 2020, Kremer accepted the position of Executive Director for the non-profit Women for

America First.

As Executive Director, Women for America First started the “March for Trump” movement which

went viral on social media, garnering millions of supporters for President Donald J. Trump and

for free and fair elections.

The night after the 2020 election, Women for America First gathered team members and other

patriots as they rallied and peacefully protested in various battleground states throughout the

country. In Washington, D.C. [November 14th], at Freedom Plaza [December 12th], and at the

White House Ellipse [January 6th], Women for America First held massive rallies for President

Trump, each attracting over 1 million people in attendance.

During this time frame, Kremer and her Women for America First team launched the “March for

Trump: To Demand Transparency and Protect Election Integrity” bus tour, which traveled coast

to coast holding dozens of rallies supporting election integrity and President Trump.

At the White House Ellipse on January 6th, Women for America First had the most beautiful

“Save America” rally, full of patriotism and love - love of God, love of country, love of one

another, and love of America’s president! During that rally, Kremer had the privilege of speaking

on the same stage as President Donald J. Trump.

In her free time, Kremer enjoys traveling, cooking, and interior design. She travels the country

working to elect conservative candidates at all levels of government, advocating for policies that

empower women, and garnering support for the America First agenda.

During his time with the Close Up Foundation, Gardner ensured the academic integrity of this U.S. Government-focused program which utilized Washington, D.C. [its Senate and House office buildings, monuments and memorials, museums, government buildings, and myriad of sites around the nation’s capital] as an open classroom, where scholars discovered the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Gardner oversaw this broad curriculum for the Close Up Foundation’s “Middle School,” “High School,” “Puerto Rican,” “Deaf and Hard of Hearing,” “Newly Independent States [of the Soviet Union],” “Senior Citizen,” and “Teacher” Program participants.
