As a handful of Floridians are about to begin service inside The West Wing for the incoming Trump administration, a familiar last name is heading back to Washington. Caroline Wiles, daughter of President-elect Donald Trump's (R) campaign manager and current White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, has accepted a position with the prominent lobbying firm Rubin Turnbull & Associates.
The firm recently announced its establishment of a Washington, D.C. office, and Wiles will serve as the Vice President of Foreign Affairs. Wiles is a veteran Republican consultant, also worked in the first Trump administration, and has worked on a slew of local, state, and federal political campaigns.
In speaking to The Floridian Publisher Javier Manjarres about her new job, Wiles reiterated that she was “excited to bring our clients the highest level of expertise and insight" and said it was “a privilege” to work alongside the company's founder, Bill Rubin.
“I’ve known Bill for over 15 years, ever since we first crossed paths during U.S. Sen. Rick Scott’s initial run for Governor of Florida. He is an incredibly hard worker. It’s a privilege to collaborate with him and Heather Turnbull — an exceptional leader — as we establish our new office in Washington, D.C.,” said Caroline Wiles.
President-elect Trump’s Senior Advisor and co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita, also praised the hiring of Wiles, acknowledging her “work ethic and commitment,” adding she was a great fit for the firm.
The company's founder Bill Rubin said he's optimistic that this will be "one of our most successful ventures" by adding Caroline Wiles.
“This D.C. office marks an exciting expansion of our firm, which we have held to the highest standards of client service since its founding in 1992. Today, we launch a new chapter, and with the leadership of Caroline Wiles, I am confident that this will be one of our most successful ventures to date,” said Rubin.
He continued, “Caroline’s experience on several presidential campaigns — and most recently in Florida — allows us to give our clients the absolute best advice and guidance for their most decisive moments. This is a great fit for our firm, and I am excited to work with Caroline every day.”
In addition to the newly added D.C. office, Rubin Turnbull & Associates has locations in Tallahassee, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami.
Considering that the eldest of the Wiles women (Katie) has landed a consulting job with former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Carlos Trujillo’s Continental Government lobby firm, Team Wiles appears to be on the verge of leaving a significant legislative and presidential mark in and around the West Wing.
Now alongside her daughters in D.C., Susie Wiles will be the first female Chief of Staff for a sitting President of the United States.
President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn into the Oval Office on Jan. 20.
