Rumson Man Leads Donald Trump's Fundraising Nationally and in New Jersey

Rumson, NJ - A Rumson man will lead fundraising for Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee on both a national level and locally here in New Jersey.

Lewis "Lew" Eisenberg, who lives in Rumson, has been appointed to lead fundraising for Trump, the Republican National Committee (RNC), and several state parties, including New Jersey, reports NJ.com.

Eisenberg is finance chairman of the RNC. As a longtime Republican fundraiser, he has hosted fundraisers for Vice President Dick Cheney at his Rumson estate.

“Lew Eisenberg is going to do an outstanding job leading this effort,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus in a statement. “Lew has already helped the RNC raise a record $135 million in support this cycle, and I have every confidence his track record of success will continue in this new role.”

Eisenberg's new role comes as the RNC and Trump announced a joint fundraising agreement Tuesday night. The agreement will allow Trump's presidential campaign to raise funds the Republican party can use to elect GOP candidates in all races in November, such as congressional races.

Eisenberg will work closely with Trump Campaign Finance Chair Steven Mnuchin, said the Trump campaign in a statement.

Eisenberg is a former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and a former chairman of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. He served as an adviser to Gov. Christie Whitman when she was governor.
