Michael Needham Counselor to State Department 12-14-24

Michael Needham was chosen to serve as Trump’s counselor of the State Department. 

“Mike as capably served Senator Marco Rubio for many years, and is a key leader in the America First Movement,” Trump wrote. “He has been on the front lines of the fight for the Forgotten Men and Women of America for nearly two decades, and will do a great job at State.” 

Needham brings a wealth of experience to his new position. He served for five years as chief of staff to Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), where he led the team that conceived, passed, and helped implement the Paycheck Protection Program at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative provided crucial support to an estimated 55 million jobs across the United States. He left Rubio’s office last summer to found America 2100, where he serves as executive director.

Prior to his work with Sen. Rubio, Needham founded and served as chief executive officer of Heritage Action for America. He also held positions at The Heritage Foundation, including chief of staff and director of the Asian Studies Center. Needham’s academic credentials include an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business and a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from Williams College.
