The Republican National Committeeman from New Jersey has become an issue in a hotly-contested congressional primary in New Hampshire’s 1st district, where two former Trump administration officials and others are battling for the chance to take on two-term Rep. Chris Pappas in the mid-term elections.
Bill Palatucci was one of just a handful of Republican National Committee members who voted against a resolution censuring Rep. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) on Friday for their involvement in an investigation of the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Now former White House Deputy Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wants Matt Mowers, a New Jersey native, to return a $1,000 contribution he received from Palatucci and others are no longer supporting former President
“Matt Mowers should return every contribution from anyone who does not support President Trump and the America First movement, and then try running in the state that he’s actually from,” said Chris D’Anna, a spokesman for Leavitt.
Mowers has seen his old home state come through for him as he raises money for what he hopes to be a rematch with Pappas. New Jerseyans sent $182,319 to his 2020 campaign and he has brought in $81,593 from New Jersey donors in 2021, including $11,600 from former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and his wife and his check from Palatucci.
Palatucci is one of former Christie’s closest friends – it was Christie who put on the RNC nearly twelve years ago – and he served as general counsel to President Donald Trump’s transition team before being fired, along with Christie, two days after the election.
Palatucci was a Trump cheerleader in New Jersey and elsewhere until Christie broke with the former president after the 2020 election
