ATLANTA, GA–The Tea Party Patriots announced today the addition of Michael Flynn to serve as Political Director of a newly formed Super PAC – Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund. With years of campaign and political experience, Flynn will lead the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund’s efforts to grow the Tea Party’s presence in Congress as it continues its fight against the Washington establishment.
“Michael Flynn brings more than 20 years of experience in policy development, legislative affairs, media relations, political campaigns, and crisis communications to the team and we are thrilled to have him,” said Jenny Beth Martin, Chairman of the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund. “His immeasurable expertise will help us achieve our goal of electing candidates who are fighting to secure the economic future of our country.”
Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon said, “Mike Flynn was a trusted adviser to Andrew Breitbart and understands the nature of the fight ahead. With his detailed knowledge of the Tea Party and political campaigns he is the perfect choice for the Tea Party Patriots. Breitbart News looks forward to having Mike continue as a contributor on our pages.”
Flynn’s political career began in Illinois, where he managed several successful campaigns against Democrat incumbents. In 2010, he guided Bobby Schilling’s campaign against then-Rep. Phil Hare in Illinois’ 17th district, winning a D+3 district by 11 points.
He lives in Alexandria, VA with his wife Holly and their four children.
The Tea Party Patriots Citizen Fund is a federal political action committee dedicated to holding tax-and-spend politicians accountable for creating America’s fiscal crisis. The Tea Party Patriots Citizen Fund will work to defeat big-spending politicians through independent expenditures exposing their support for economy destroying laws and regulations and by organizing volunteers to get out the Tea Party vote.
