The head of the Senate Republican Super PAC, Steven J. Law, has resigned, signaling a shift in leadership for the organization as well as Senate Republicans.
Written by Shane Goldmacher
Steven J. Law, the leader of the leading super PAC supporting Senate Republicans, is resigning after ten years of overseeing one of the most influential political organizations funded by large sums of money in the United States.
The choice made by Mr. Law to step down from his role as chief executive marks a transition in leadership, happening at the same time as Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky steps down as Senate Republican leader. Mr. Law, who previously worked as Mr. McConnell’s chief of staff, was responsible for the significant growth of the super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, and its affiliated nonprofit organization, One Nation, in the realm of Republican politics.
Officials reported that over the past ten years, the two organizations gathered $2.3 billion in funds. Mr. Law was recognized as a reliable manager of donations from prominent Republican donors such as Paul Singer, Kenneth C. Griffin, Stephen A. Schwarzman, and other influential figures in the financial industry.
In an interview, Mr. McConnell praised Mr. Law for his intelligence and honesty, especially in a field where dishonest practices are common.
After working with Mr. McConnell since 1987, Mr. Law will be stepping down from the super PAC following the 2024 election, where Republicans gained four Senate seats by defeating three long-serving Democratic incumbents in Ohio, Montana, and Pennsylvania, as well as winning the West Virginia seat previously held by Senator Joe Manchin III.
By leaving his position, he is making it possible for Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the incoming Republican majority leader, to choose his own supporter or close advisor to lead the super PAC.
