Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel's salary has more than doubled since she began her tenure six years ago, now far exceeding the pay of any of her predecessors as she seeks reelection this week.
The RNC didn't respond to a request for comment, but McDaniel's spokesperson for her reelection campaign told the Huffington Post, "Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has a base salary that is comparable to previous chairs, and any bonuses are voted upon by the Budget Committee based on metrics like fundraising."
McDaniel has circulated a letter with signatures from 107 RNC members endorsing her for reelection.
Another 20 donors, who have reportedly given at least $14 million to the GOP since McDaniel took over the RNC in 2017, signed a letter supporting Dhillon.
According to Dhillon's RNC campaign website, a partial list shows that she has received 29 endorsements from RNC committee members and state chairs.
Former President Donald Trump, who picked McDaniel for RNC chair after he won the White House in 2016, has declined to make an endorsement in the contest.
According to a Convention of States Action survey conducted by the Trafalgar Group last month, about 73% of Republican voters said a new person should be elected to lead the RNC, while 21% said they were unsure about who the next chair should be, and 6% of GOP voters said McDaniel should run for a fourth therm.
