Kari joins the official North Carolina chapter with David Draper and Veteran Jimbo Shiver as we expand our state team in preparation to relaunch NC and fight to elect MAGA candidates for the 2026 cycle.
Kari Donovan has lived in Cary, North Carolina, for over 20 years and has been active with the NCGOP for nearly that entire time. She has worked across multiple campaigns as a strategist, photographer, social media pundit, and grassroots organizer. Notably, Kari worked with Earl Phillips, Donald Trump’s North Carolina state campaign director, during the 2015–2016 election cycle and later contributed to the RNC’s Trump Victory campaign through the NCGOP in 2020.
In 2024, she wrote pro-Trump content for Steve Bannon’s WarRoom and Ben Bergquam’s Frontline America, solidifying her role as a leading voice in the America First movement. A political writer and activist since 1998, Kari began following politics on FreeRepublic in the pre–Tea Party era and has since contributed to outlets such as Big League Politics, National File, Republic Brief, Gateway Pundit, and Roger Stone's Stone Cold Truth. Her work has supported key America First figures, including David J. Harris Jr., Ben Bergquam, and Steve Bannon. She is currently a writer for WarRoom.
Most importantly, Kari is a 25-year veteran of homeschooling her three children and has been involved in education reform for nearly 30 years.
