ALEC SEARS
Alec Sears began his career in politics during the 2016 cycle when he gained attention online as a commentator and writer. Working towards a Computer Science degree at the time, Alec had a leg up on the digital systems some in politics were late to adopting. He quickly joined a number of campus organizations and began training with Forge Leadership Network and the Leadership Institute.
In 2017, after taking over day-to-day operations of a popular youth blog, Lone Conservative, Alec guided the organization into position as a farm team for mainstream publications. In 2018, he joined CRC Advisors and immediately got to work helping to confirm Justice Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Continuing on with the powerhouse firm, he led the digital efforts in 2020 to confirm Justice Barrett – all while recovering from a bad motorcycle accident. In 2021, Alec spent time at PLUS Communications, learning corporate and crisis contingency communications. During the 2022 cycle, Alec joined the RNC team and used his catchall digital skills to completely overhaul their social media presence.
When he’s not tweeting, Alec enjoys playing competitive video games with his life-long friends. He hails from Dayton, Ohio and will talk for hours about the merits of Skyline Chili. His favorite music genre is indie rock, but is pretty much down with anything as long as it’s not country. Alec’s friends are generally unhappy with the fact that after his motorcycle accident left him unable to walk for an extended period of time, Alecpicked up Texas Hold ‘Em and regularly hosts a poker night where he kicks their butts. You can often find him reading any book he can get his hands on, enjoying great restaurants, cooking, watching exceptional movies, and traveling with his wife, Casey.
