Meshawn Maddock, the co-founder of Michigan Trump Republicans, as been tapped for the national “Women for Trump” coalition for President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.

Maddock is the chair of the 11th District GOP and attended the recent “Squash Amash” event protesting then-GOP U.S. Rep. Justin Amash for backing Trump’s impeachment. Amash left the party soon after and became an independent. She noted in the press release that she’s married to state Rep. Matt Maddock (R-Milford).

“To be selected by the Trump campaign to help with his 2020 re-election is a huge honor,” said Meshawn Maddock. “Trump’s performance has been so strong that delivering his America First message to Michigan voters will be a joy.”

The group includes business owners, health care professionals, law enforcement officers, activists, wives, sisters and mothers, per a press release. Actress Stacey Dash and former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi are among the co-chairs, and other key members include former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and the duo of Diamond & Silk, who frequently appear on Fox News.

“‘Women for Trump’ will not only highlight the President’s clear record of success, but will share a vision of empowerment and prosperity for every person in every corner of our country,” said Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law.
