النشأة والتعليم

Born and raised in New Jersey, Susan Summerall was one of the three children of Pat Summerall, who played in the National Football League (NFL) and later became a well known sportscaster.[3][4] She graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park.[5]


Career

In 1979, Wiles was hired as an assistant for Representative Jack Kemp, one of Summerall's teammates on the New York Giants. In 1980, she joined Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign as a campaign scheduler.[3]

In the 1990s, Wiles served as a chief of staff to John Delaney, who was then serving as mayor of Jacksonville. Wiles also worked for U.S. Representative Tillie Fowler.[4]

From 2004 to 2009, she advised the mayor of Jacksonville, John Peyton. In the 2010 Florida gubernatorial election, Wiles was credited with helping elect businessman Rick Scott. Considered an "outsider" at the time, Scott previously had few connections with the Florida Republican Party.[6]

In January 2011, Wiles was hired as campaign manager for former Governor of Utah Jon Huntsman Jr.'s presidential campaign. While on the Huntsman campaign, she and former Jacksonville Jaguars player Tony Boselli launched a Ponte Vedra Beach-based consulting firm. Wiles left the campaign in July 2011.[7]

Wiles also ran Tallahassee, Florida-based lobbying firm Ballard Partners for close to a decade,[8] but left in September 2019, citing "a nagging health issue".[9]

Work for Donald Trump

In the 2016 presidential election, Wiles ran the Trump campaign's operations in Florida.[10] During the 2018 Florida gubernatorial election, Wiles was reportedly deputized by Trump to help Republican Ron DeSantis' campaign for Governor.[11] In his victory speech, DeSantis described Wiles as the "best in the business".[12] However, "rising tensions between the duo" led to her dismissal as a top advisor to DeSantis in 2019.[3] According to the reporting from one source (Politico.com), the tie to Wiles, who had "played a key role in... 2016", was cut "at the urging of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis" to allow him "to install his own allies in the state party", a move "widely seen as a setback to the president's re-election campaign" in that battleground state.[13] She described working for DeSantis as the "biggest mistake" of her entire career.[14]

In March 2021, Wiles was chosen as CEO of Trump's Save America PAC. In April 2021, Politico described Wiles as the "new honcho atop Trumpworld", noting that she would wield authority over former 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien and key aide Justin R. Clark.[15] Under her leadership, Save America PAC has covered legal fees for several current and former Trump staffers involved in the many legal proceedings against the former president.[16]

In August 2022, she was described as effectively Trump's "chief of staff" in the run-up to the 2022 midterm election and his 2024 presidential campaign announcement.[11] Alongside individuals such as businessman Peter Thiel, Wiles pushed Trump to endorse Blake Masters in the 2022 Senate election in Arizona, who lost the election.[17]

In the 2023 federal indictment of Trump for mishandling classified documents, a person was mentioned but not named labeled "PAC Representative," to whom Trump is alleged to have shown a classified map concerning a military operation.[18] According to ABC News, sources have said that the person was Wiles.[18][19] After the indictment, ProPublica documented an increase in payments to Wiles and the hiring of her daughter as part of a pattern of other Trump staffers who have been subpoenaed as part of an investigation into Trump receiving significant financial benefits.[20] She denied knowing that it was best practice for witnesses in an investigation concerning their boss or client to not appear like they are receiving special treatment and denied ever talking to Trump about her testimony.[20]

In the final months of the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump reiterated that Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita were the two people running the campaign after a spat with Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski.

Two days after Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, Wiles was selected as his new White House Chief of Staff.[21][3][22][23]

Personal life

Susie Wiles was married to Lenny Wiles, a fellow Republican political consultant, with whom she moved to Jacksonville in 1985.[4] The couple divorced in 2017.[3] She has two daughters.[3]
