Career

Scott Jennings began his career as a journalist in Kentucky, first as a reporter with WHAS radio and then with the Kentucky News Network. In 2000, he began working as a political operative, running the Kentucky campaign for George W. Bush’s first presidential bid. Jennings also ran campaigns for U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2002 and 2008. After the 2008 election, when he worked on the New Mexico portion of Bush’s re-election campaign, Jennings began a three-year stay in the White House as a special assistant to the president and deputy director of political affairs.[3]

Jennings founded RunSwitch PR in 2012 with Steve Bryant and Gary Gerdemann. In that same year, he was the Ohio state director for the presidential campaign of Mitt Romney.[1] In the 2014 election cycle, Jennings worked for two separate groups that supported the re-election of Sen. Mitch McConnell. Jennings was a top advisor to Kentuckians for Strong Leadership, a Super PAC that supported McConnell. The group spent $6.4 million on ads supporting McConnell throughout the general election.[4] Jennings was also employed by the Kentucky Opportunity Coalition, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that spent over $8 million on issue advertising that opposed Alison Lundergan Grimes in her effort to oust McConnell.[5][6] New York Magazine noted Jennings’ influence on the 2014 Senate race, saying, “Scott Jennings is charming, he’s fun, he’s dressed prosperous-dad-casual in an Owensboro Country Club polo shirt and khakis. He’s also lethal.”[7]

Delegate rules

Delegates from Kentucky to the Republican National Convention were selected by nomination committees and approved at the county and state conventions. Kentucky GOP rules required national convention delegates to have supported the 2012 Republican presidential nominee. Kentucky GOP rules and Kentucky state law required delegates from Kentucky to vote for the candidate to whom they were allocated through the first round of voting at the national convention. If a candidate died or withdrew prior to the first round of voting at the national convention, the chairman of the Kentucky delegation was to call a meeting at which the delegates were to vote on the remaining candidates and be reallocated on the basis of the results.

District delegates were allocated proportionally; a candidate had to win at least 5 percent of the statewide caucus vote in order to be eligible to receive any district delegates.[10][11]

Of the remaining 28 delegates, 25 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated proportionally; a candidate had to win at least 5 percent of the statewide caucus vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state’s at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were allocated in the same manner as the at-large delegates.[10][11][12]
