Michael Steele was elected Lt. Governor of Maryland in 2003, making history as the first African American elected to statewide office, and again with his subsequent chairmanship of the Republican National Committee in 2009. As chairman of the RNC, Michael Steele was charged with revitalizing the Republican Party. He is a self-described “Lincoln Republican.” Under his leadership, the RNC broke fundraising records (more than $198 million raised during the 2010 Congressional cycle) and Republicans won 63 House seats, the biggest pickup since 1938. His commitment to grassroots organization and party building at the state and local levels produced 12 governorships and the greatest share of state legislative seats since 1928 (more than 760 seats).
