America First Action announced today that Kimberly Guilfoyle, co-host of Fox News Channel’s The Five, has joined its team as Vice Chairwoman. America First Action is the primary super PAC dedicated to electing federal candidates who support the agenda of the Trump-Pence administration. 

“America First is delighted to welcome Kimberly to the team,” said Thomas Hicks, Jr., Chairman of the Board of America First Action. “It’s an honor to have such a talented woman and one of the most highly sought-after television personalities in the country help us achieve our objective—helping the President Make America Great Again.”

“Throughout my career as a prosecutor and journalist, I’ve seen a lot and shared many stories of tragedy, triumph, and everything in between—but never have I experienced anything quite like the energy the America First movement brings,” said Ms. Guilfoyle. “I am grateful for this new and exciting opportunity to connect with the millions of grassroots supporters who believe in this administration.” 

As Vice Chairwoman, Ms. Guilfoyle will assist the board and staff of America First with fundraising, media appearances, and grassroots outreach.

Ms. Guilfoyle began working at Fox News Channel in 2006 as a legal analyst, and in 2011, she joined the network’s lively weeknight panel ensemble, The Five. 

Once considered by the Trump administration for the role of White House Communications Director, Ms. Guilfoyle authored a book in 2015, Making the Case: How to Be Your Own Best Advocate.
