Sarah Chamberlain, Member
Sarah Chamberlain’s passion for pragmatic politics and women’s engagement drives her to wear many hats. As President and CEO of the Republican Main Street Partnership, Sarah runs an organization that supports the governing wing of the Republican Party in Congress. She is the only woman in the country who’s the CEO of a major Republican organization. Additionally, as the President and Founder of the Women2Women National Conversation Tour, Sarah has become one of the most prominent national voices calling for women to raise their voices on issues that matter most to them while educating them on how decisions being made for the country are affecting their own lives.
Born in upstate New York, she received her undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Delaware and received her master’s degree from the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard University. From there, she came to Washington, DC, to work for Republican Main Street Partnership and its founder Rep. Amory Houghton Jr., a former CEO of the Corning Glass Company and six-term member of Congress. Sarah has since built the Republican Main Street Partnership from the fledgling organization founded in 1997 into a thriving network of over 90 Members of Congress who share Sarah’s commitment to conservative, solution-oriented governing (all while losing her husband to cancer in 2011 and raising her daughter as a single mother). RMSP is the second-largest conservative alliance in the U.S. House GOP majority caucus, has an 85% winning record, spends 94 cents of every dollar on candidates, and opens its books to its contributors at the end of each year.
Sarah serves on the Board of Directors of the Women Campaign School at Yale University, is a National Capital Trustee of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and sits on the Wall Street Journal CEO Council. Her written work has been featured in the Washington Post, The Hill, U.S. News & World Report, she is a contributor for Forbes, and has a regular slot on Bloomberg on Thursdays at 5:30 pm. Sarah was chosen by CQ Roll Call as a 2017 Rising Star and was featured as one of Elle Magazine’s 10 Women in Washington in 2017.
