Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway (née Fitzpatrick; born January 20, 1967) is an American political activist currently serving as Counselor to President Donald Trump. She is a Republican Party campaign manager, strategist, and pollster who was formerly president and CEO of The Polling Company Inc./Woman Trend.[1]

In 2016, Conway endorsed Ted Cruz in the Republican presidential primaries and chaired a pro-Cruz political action committee, Keep the Promise I, which ran advertisements critical of then Republican candidate Donald Trump.[2][3] On July 1, 2016, after Cruz withdrew from the race, Donald Trump appointed her as a senior advisor to his campaign. Conway was promoted to the position of campaign manager on August 19, 2016, after the resignation of Paul Manafort.[4][5]

She served as Trump's campaign manager for two and a half months, through the November 8, 2016, election, and was the first woman to successfully run a presidential campaign.[6] On December 22, 2016, Trump, then president-elect, announced that Conway would join his administration as Counselor to the President.[7]

Early life

Kellyanne Elizabeth Fitzpatrick was born on January 20, 1967, in Camden, New Jersey, to Diane Fitzpatrick.[8][9] Conway's father, who had Irish ancestry, owned a small trucking company, and her mother, who was of Italian descent, worked at a bank. They divorced when she was three.[10] She was raised by her mother, grandmother and two unmarried aunts in the Atco section of Waterford Township, New Jersey, and graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1985. Her family's religion was Catholic.[8][11][12]

Conway credits her experience working for eight summers on a blueberry farm in Hammonton, New Jersey, for teaching her a strong work ethic. "The faster you went, the more money you'd make." At age 16, she won the New Jersey Blueberry Princess pageant. At 20, she won the World Champion Blueberry Packing competition. She states, "Everything I learned about life and business started on that farm."[12]

Conway received her Bachelor of Arts degree magna cum laude in political science from Trinity College, Washington, D.C. (now Trinity Washington University), where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.[13] She then earned a Juris Doctor with honors from the George Washington University Law School in 1992.[14] She served as a judicial clerk for Judge Richard A. Levie of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia after graduation.[15][16]

Career

Conway entered the polling business with Wirthlin Group, a Republican polling firm. She also worked for Luntz Research Companies before founding her own firm,[11] The Polling Company, in 1995. Conway's company has consulted on consumer trends, often trends regarding women. Conway's clients have included Vaseline, American Express and Hasbro.[17]

In the 1990s, Conway, with other young conservative women Laura Ingraham, Barbara Olsen and Ann Coulter,[14] helped turn punditry into "stylish stardom" in both Washington and cable television.[18][19] In another review of the era in the capital, Conway as Fitzpatrick put it that her "broad mind and small waist have not switched places".[20] Conway, Ingraham and Coulter, sometimes termed among others "pundettes",[21] also all appeared on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect over the period.[14]

Among the political figures Conway worked for were Congressman Jack Kemp; Senator Fred Thompson;[16][better source needed] former Vice President Dan Quayle;[22] Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; and Congressman (now Vice President) Mike Pence.[17] She worked as the senior advisor to Gingrich during his unsuccessful 2012 United States presidential election campaign.[23] Another client in 2012 was U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin.[24]

Kellyanne Conway in 2015

In addition to her political opinion research work, Conway has directed demographic and attitudinal survey projects for trade associations and private companies, including American Express, ABC News, Major League Baseball, and Ladies Home Journal.[16] Her firm The Polling Company also includes WomanTrend, a research and consulting division.[16]

Conway has appeared as a commentator on polling and the political scene, having appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, NY1, and the Fox News Channel, in addition to various radio programs. She received the Washington Post's "Crystal Ball" award for accurately predicting the outcome of the 2004 election.[25]

Conway has been described as a flack of high prominence, particularly in her role as cable TV spokesperson for the controversial Trump Administration.[26] In February, 2017, the MSNBC show Morning Joe publicly "banned" Conway.

2016 presidential election

Ted Cruz support and endorsement

In the 2016 Republican presidential campaign, Conway endorsed Ted Cruz and chaired a pro-Cruz political action committee known as Keep the Promise I, which was almost entirely funded by businessman Robert Mercer.[27][28] Conway's organization criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as "extreme" and "not a conservative".[3] On January 25, 2016, Conway criticized Trump as "a man who seems to be offending his way to the nomination."[29] On January 26, Conway criticized Trump's use of eminent domain, saying "Donald Trump has literally bulldozed over the little guy to get his way."[30]

In mid-June 2016, following Cruz's suspension of his campaign, Conway left the organization.[31]

As of October 2016, Conway's firm had billed the pro-Cruz Keep the Promise I political action committee and other political campaign committees $1.9 million in fees for the 2016 presidential election cycle.[32]

Trump campaign

On July 1, 2016, Trump announced that he had hired Conway for a senior advisory position on his presidential campaign.[33] Conway was expected to advise Trump on how to better appeal to female voters.[33]

On August 19, Trump named Conway the campaign's third campaign manager.[17][34] She served in this capacity for 10 weeks, through the November 8 general election, and was the first woman to run a Republican general election presidential campaign.[34]

Since October 2016, Conway has been parodied on Saturday Night Live by Kate McKinnon.[35][36][37]

Presidential transition

Main article: Presidential transition of Donald Trump

On November 10, 2016, Conway tweeted publicly that Trump had offered her a White House job.[38] "I can have any job I want", she said on November 28.[39]

On November 24, Conway tweeted that she was "Receiving deluge of social media & private comms re: Romney. Some Trump loyalists warn against Romney as sec of state" with a link to an article on Trump loyalists' discontent for the 2012 nominee. Conway told CNN she was only tweeting what she has shared with President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence in private.[40]

On November 28, two top sources at the Trump transition team told media outlets that Trump "was furious" at Conway for media comments she made on Trump administration cabinet appointments.[41] The following day, however, Trump released a written statement stating that the campaign sources were wrong and that he had expressed disappointment at her critical comments on Romney.[42] CNBC reported on November 28 that senior officials in the Trump transition "have reportedly been growing frustrated by Conway's failure to become a team player."[39]

On December 1, Conway appeared with senior aides of the Trump campaign, at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, for a forum on the 2016 presidential race; the quadrennial post-presidential election forum has been held at the School of Government since 1972. Sitting across from Conway were senior Clinton campaign aides, including Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook. As tempers began to flare, the forum escalated into a "shouting match"; during one exchange, Clinton senior strategist Joel Benenson said "The fact of the matter is that more Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than for Donald Trump." Conway replied to Benenson while looking at the Trump aides: "Hey, guys, we won. You don't have to respond. He was the better candidate. That's why he won."[43]

In early December, Conway said that Hillary Clinton supporters were making death threats against her.[44]

White House aide

Alternative facts

Main article: Alternative facts

During a Meet the Press interview two days after Trump's inauguration, Conway used the phrase "alternative facts" to describe falsehoods asserted by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer regarding the attendance at Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States.[45][46][47][48] Conway's phrase reminded many commentators of "Newspeak", a dystopian language style that was a key element of the society portrayed in George Orwell novel 1984.[49] This led to the novel suddenly appearing at the top of the Amazon.com best-seller list, according to Penguin Books, the publisher of the book.[50]

The conservative daily magazine American Thinker explained the "tidal wave of derision hoisted upon President Trump's senior adviser" had been rather shocking to observe because the derision had been "so spectacularly off base". The magazine refers to the common use of the phrase "alternative facts" in law and to its being known to most lawyers, including Conway with her George Washington University Law School degree. After giving examples of meaningful non legal uses of the phrase "alternative facts" the article concludes that when Chuck Todd upbraided Kellyanne Conway with the claim that "alternative facts are not facts; they're falsehoods", he was not only wrong, but "propagating an ignorance born out of lazy and shallow thinking".[51]

Bowling Green massacre

Main article: Bowling Green massacre

On February 2, 2017, Conway appeared in a television news show interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. In order to justify President Trump's immigration ban, she referenced an event allegedly perpetrated by Iraqi terrorists she termed the "Bowling Green massacre". Such an event never took place.[52][53] Vox suggested Conway was referring to the 2011 arrest of two Iraqi refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky.[53] Conway stated the next day that she meant to say "Bowling Green terrorists", both of whom had pleaded guilty to carrying out and supporting attacks on American soldiers in Iraq.[54] There was never any suggestion that they had planned to carry out attacks in the United States.[55]

On February 5, 2017, New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen argued that, given repeated misstatements of fact, Conway should cease being booked as a guest on television news shows. CNN opted not to book Conway as a guest that day because of what the network said were “serious questions about her credibility."[56][57]

Ethics violation allegations and investigation

On February 9, 2017, during an appearance on Fox & Friends, Conway discussed department store Nordstrom's decision to drop products supplied by Ivanka Trump's business. "Go buy Ivanka's stuff is what I would tell you", declared Conway; she elaborated "It's a wonderful line. I own some of it. I'm going to give a free commercial here: Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online".[58][59]

Within hours, two organizations filed formal ethics complaints against Conway for violating federal law prohibiting use of a federal position "for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise".[60] Public Citizen asked the Office of Governmental Ethics (OGE) to investigate, saying that Conway's remarks reflected "an on-going careless regard of the conflicts of interest laws and regulations of some members of the Trump family and Trump Administration". The group's president, Robert Weissman, declared that "Since she said it was an advertisement, that both eliminates any question about whether outsiders are unfairly reading into what's being said, and two, it makes clear that wasn't an inadvertent remark".[61] Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a similar complaint with the OGE and with the White House Counsel's Office;[62] the group's executive director, Noah Bookbinder, stated "This seems to us to be about as clear-cut a violation as you can find".[63]

Laurence Tribe told The New York Times that "You couldn’t think of a clearer example of violating the ban of using your government position as kind of a walking billboard for products or services offered by a private individual," adding "She is attempting quite crudely to enrich Ivanka and therefore the president's family."[63] Chris Lu, deputy secretary of labor in the Obama administration, complained to Jason Chaffetz, chair of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, that Conway had "violated" federal ethics laws,[64] also saying on Twitter that, under Obama, "If we did what @KellyannePolls did, we would've been fired".[65] Rep. Elijah Cummings also wrote to Chaffetz "to refer Conway for discipline".[66] Richard W. Painter, chief ethics attorney for George W. Bush, declined to say whether he thought Conway's statements broke the law, but that such actions would not have been tolerated in the Bush administration. "The events of the past week demonstrate that there is no intent on the part of the president, his family or the White House staff to make meaningful distinctions between his official capacity as president and the Trump family business".[63]

At the regularly scheduled afternoon press briefing, Sean Spicer told reporters that "Kellyanne has been counseled, and that's all we are going to go with ... She's been counseled on the subject, and that's it."[66]

Conway's comments drew bipartisan Congressional condemnation. Chaffetz, a Republican, called them "clearly over the line" and "unacceptable". Cummings, a Democrat and the committee's ranking member, called them "jaw-dropping",[67] Both Chaffetz and Cummings wrote the United States Office of Government Ethics on February 9, 2017 requesting that Conway's behavior be investigated and that the office recommend "suggested disciplinary action, if warranted".[68]

Political views

Conway views herself as a Generation X conservative.[69][70]

Conway is pro-life, saying in 1996: "We grew up with sonograms. We know life when we see it."[70] She spoke at the 2017 March for Life, an annual rally protesting abortion and Roe v. Wade.[71]

In 2014, Conway coauthored a memo for the pro-amnesty group FWD.us that supported a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants living in the United States.[72]

Personal life

Conway married George T. Conway III, a Filipino-American [73] litigation partner at the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, in 2001.[74] The couple have four children, including twins, and live in Alpine, New Jersey.[16][75][76]

Book

In 2005, Conway and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake co-authored What Women Really Want: How American Women Are Quietly Erasing Political, Racial, Class, and Religious Lines to Change the Way We Live (Free Press/Simon & Schuster, 2005; ISBN 0-7432-7382-6).
