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.
