Meet the Women of the White House
By Ashley Sugar
Behind the white pillars of the house located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, hundreds of individuals are working to carry out essential government functions. Among these individuals are amazing women who are a part of the White House’s daily affairs, but you would never know that. The media paints a picture of thousands of men working underneath the Trump Administration, but that picture is far from reality. There are competent, educated, and conservative, hold the shock, women involved with almost every aspect of the President’s job. These women are seen as inferior to liberal women because their beliefs and party preference are different than those of the mainstream media and Hollywood. Unfortunately, these women don’t get the applause they deserve, but today, I want you to meet some of the accomplished women fighting to ensure the United States remains the best nation in the world. They fight for your rights and your ability to pursue a prosperous, fulfilling life.
Women often fear that they cannot possibly have it all. If your career is thriving, your children must be suffering. A woman’s home, social, and work-life can never all be flourishing because something has got to give. This stereotype is dead wrong. Of course, it could happen, but it doesn’t have to. These women all prove that you can have it all. We are no different than men, which is why these accomplished, aspiring women serve as some of my role models, and hopefully, yours now. Women can have it all— a beautiful family, healthy social life, and a fulfilling career— and these women show us how it’s done.
Kayleigh McEnany
White House Press Secretary
You have probably seen her fiery personality on your television warding off the vicious press with grace and poise. Kayleigh McEnany is fierce, yet even-tempered, quick on her feet, and well informed. In her short time as the Press Secretary, she has proven to be a tremendous asset to the Trump administration as she stands at the press podium every day, facing those who refuse to believe in the excellent work this administration is putting in. McEnany attended Georgetown and Oxford before working behind the scenes on the Huckabee show on Fox. While later commentating on CNN, McEnany attended Harvard Law School. McEnany was then appointed National Spokesperson for the Republican National Committee before being named the 31st White House Press Secretary. The McEnany family welcomed a beautiful daughter late last year. Just five months after her daughter was born, McEnany started her new job at the White House. It is arguably one of the hardest positions within the administration, for which she performs impeccably while maintaining a close relationship with her family and raising her daughter. Her baby can often be found on Instagram, flipping through her mom’s briefing book in the West Wing and jet-setting across the U.S. for various campaign events. McEnany proves that women can do everything, and they can do it well.
Kellyanne Conway
Counselor to the President
Feminists love to discuss women making history and accomplishing the impossible. Yet, you only hear Kellyanne Conway’s name when the Left is complaining about her. In 2016, she made history when she became the first female campaign manager to run a successful presidential campaign. Too much of an asset for the administration to lose, Conway has transitioned to an advisory role in the White House. As an Advisor, She is currently focused on battling the opioid epidemic in the United States. Before working under the current administration, Conway founded her own polling firm that was widely successful. Conway’s success through the 2016 election will go down in history books, regardless of liberals trying to discredit and erase her accomplishments. Conway earned her Juris Doctorate from George Washington University after graduating from Trinity College. Conway and her husband have four children. Fun fact: Conway’s husband is an attorney as well, and he wrote the Supreme Court brief for Paul Jones during the Clinton impeachment.
Hope Hicks
Senior Adviser
Hope Hicks is no stranger to the White House. Hicks, President Trump’s longest-serving aid, previously served as the White House Communications Director and the White House Director of Strategic Communications. Hope took a short break from the White House but has recently returned to Washington, D.C. as a Senior Adviser to the President. In 2016, Hicks worked as the Press Secretary of the Trump campaign at the tender age of 26, her first role ever in politics. Hicks later went on to work on the transition team before continuing on with the administration. Before arriving at the swamp, Hicks had an established career in public relations after graduating from Southern Methodist University, working for Fox in multiple roles. Amidst the challenges she has faced while working in the White House, her loyalty has never wavered— Hicks is back and stronger than ever.
Mercedes Schlapp
Advisor, Trump Re-election Campaign
Mercedes Schlapp previously worked as the White House Director of Strategic Communications before transitioning to the re-election campaign. A jack-of-all-trades, Schlapp has worked on campaigns, as a lobbyist, journalist, and communications aid. Schlapp worked under George Bush’s administration as his Director of Specialty Media. Schlapp has also written for The Washington Times and U.S. News & World Report. A second-generation Cuban-American, Schlapp graduated from Florida International University before going on to earn an MPA from George Washington University. Before joining the administration, Mercedes and Matt Schlapp joined forces in establishing Cove Strategies, a successful lobbying firm based in Virginia. Along with Cove Industries, her husband is also the chair of the American Conservative Union. Mercedes and Matt Schlapp have five daughters. Mercedes Schlapp’s passion for politics stems from her father’s experience in captivity under the Castro administration in Cuba. Her father’s experience led her on a journey to fight for freedom and democracy.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
National Chairwoman of the Trump Victory Finance Committee
You have probably read about her relationship status, but I doubt you have heard about her accomplishments. Kimberly Guilfoyle currently serves as the National Chairwoman of the Trump Victory Finance Committee. Guilfoyle can be seen working tirelessly at all campaign rallies and events, and she is presently the top fund-raising official for the Trump Campaign. Besides her already impressive career, Guilfoyle is also an author. Her book, Making the Case: How to Be Your Own Best Advocate, served as Guilfoyle’s opportunity to encourage individuals to advocate for themselves. Before joining President Trump’s re-election campaign, Guilfoyle had a long-standing career with Fox News. Guilfoyle first joined Fox News as a host of The Lineup, and later she became a co-host for The Five as well as a consistent co-host of Outnumbered. The daughter of an Irish immigrant, Guilfoyle, studied at University of California, Davis before receiving her Juris Doctorate from the University of San Francisco. Guilfoyle was a highly regarded prosecutor for the city of San Francisco and a deputy district attorney for Los Angeles before heading to Washington DC. Guilfoyle is currently dating Donald Trump Jr., but she was once married to California Governor Gavin Newsom.
