Life and career
Mair was born in Seattle, Washington.
Mair writes for various publications, including The Daily Beast,[2] the Washington Examiner,[3] The Hill,[4] and Reason magazine,[5] and previously wrote for U.S. News & World Report.[6]
Mair frequently appears as a commentator on television, including Fox News, MSNBC, CNN and Real Time with Bill Maher.[citation needed] She is also a UK broadcaster and ITN's regular GOP contributor during its presidential election night coverage.
Political work
Mair served as Online Communications Director at the 2008 Republican National Committee.[citation needed] There, she also served as a spokesperson[citation needed], undertaking on-camera interviews and debates on behalf of the RNC and the John McCain campaign against representatives of the DNC. Her RNC operation was widely credited by political reporters, pundits, and fellow operatives on both sides of the aisle for its effectiveness and professionalism.[citation needed] It is considered[by whom?] [citation needed] one of the areas in which the Republican side vastly outperformed its Democratic counterpart in 2008.[citation needed]
Since the RNC, Mair has worked for U.S. politicians including Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Carly Fiorina, and Roy Blunt.[7]
In 2013, Mair was named one of Campaigns & Elections' INFLUENCERS 50 in the field of communications in 2013.[citation needed]
In December 2015, Mair helped create the Make America Awesome Super PAC, "as a vehicle to attack Donald Trump".[8]
Controversies
In 2015, 48 hours after being announced as Walker's aide for his presidential campaign preparation, Mair resigned after it was reported that she had posted Twitter messages critical of agricultural subsidies, ethanol mandates, and "Iowa's front-running status" in the US election cycle.[citation needed]
In January 2019, Mair posted a tweet that was reported to have racist undertones.[9] However, Mair later deleted the tweet, saying that her sarcasm had been misinterpreted.[10]
In March 2019, Mair was named as a co-defendant in a defamation lawsuit brought by US Congressman Devin Nunes regarding the @DevinCow parody Twitter account.[11]
