Brian Timothy Jack (born February 17, 1988) is an American politician and political advisor serving as the U.S. representative from Georgia's 3rd congressional district since January 2025.

Born and raised in Georgia, Jack built a career at the intersection of Republican electoral politics and conservative advocacy, working for the Republican National Committee and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) before entering the Trump political orbit. After serving in the White House, he returned to campaign work as a senior advisor on Trump's 2024 presidential campaign before winning election to Congress, succeeding Drew Ferguson in the seat representing a sprawling district in western and central Georgia. In his first year in Congress, Jack has focused on securing federal investments for his district's infrastructure while also engaging in Republican candidate recruitment efforts at the national level.

Early Life

Brian Timothy Jack was born on February 17, 1988, in Atlanta, Georgia. He was raised in the state of Georgia, where he developed an early interest in politics and public affairs.

Jack's Georgia roots would prove significant throughout his political career, connecting him to the state's Republican political networks and eventually forming the basis for his congressional campaign. Details of his upbringing and family background prior to his college years remain limited in publicly available sources.

Education

Jack attended Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2010. Pepperdine, a private university affiliated with the Churches of Christ, is known for its programs in public policy and political science. Jack's time at the university preceded his entry into professional political work in Washington, D.C.

Career

Early Political Work

Following his graduation from Pepperdine University in 2010, Jack began building a career in Republican politics and conservative advocacy in Washington, D.C. He worked for the Republican National Committee (RNC), gaining experience in the organizational machinery of the national Republican Party. His work at the RNC provided him with a foundational understanding of party operations, campaign infrastructure, and the delegate selection processes that would later define his role in presidential politics.

Jack also worked for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), one of the most prominent pro-Israel lobbying organizations in the United States. His time at AIPAC exposed him to foreign policy advocacy and the intersection of domestic politics and international affairs, further broadening his professional network within conservative political circles.

Trump 2016 Campaign and Delegate Strategy

Jack joined Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, where he became a central figure in the campaign's delegate strategy operation. As Trump faced a contentious Republican primary season, the campaign's ability to secure and hold delegates became a critical strategic priority, particularly amid concerns about a potential contested convention.

Jack served as a delegate wrangler for the Trump campaign, working to ensure that delegates committed to Trump at the Republican National Convention would remain loyal and that the campaign could secure the nomination on the first ballot. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution profiled Jack's role, describing him as a key figure in the effort to manage the complex delegate arithmetic that defined much of the 2016 Republican primary.

The delegate strategy work was particularly consequential during the spring and early summer of 2016, when some Republican figures explored the possibility of a convention revolt against Trump's nomination. NBC News reported on the Trump campaign's efforts to block a potential convention coup, operations in which Jack played a role. The Washington Post also covered the intense behind-the-scenes battle for delegates in the chaotic 2016 GOP race, noting the campaign's under-the-radar efforts to lock down delegate support.

Jack also played a role in the effort to consolidate Republican support around Trump following the primary. He was involved in events surrounding the endorsement of Trump by Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who had been a rival candidate in the Republican primary. Trump himself later acknowledged Jack's early involvement in his political career, stating, "Brian joined my campaign in 2016. He's been with me right from the beginning of my political career."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted that prominent Georgia Republicans, including Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, rallied behind Trump during this period, with Jack working within this network of Georgia GOP supporters.

White House Political Director (2019–2021)

On February 2, 2019, Jack was appointed White House Political Director, succeeding Bill Stepien in the role. The appointment was noted by Georgia political observers as a notable achievement for the then-31-year-old Georgian.

As White House Political Director, Jack served as the primary liaison between the Trump administration and the broader Republican political ecosystem, including members of Congress, state and local elected officials, party organizations, and political allies. The position placed him at the center of the administration's political strategy and outreach operations during a period that included the first impeachment of Donald Trump, the 2020 presidential campaign, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the fall of 2020, Jack was among several White House staffers who tested positive for COVID-19 following events at the White House. The New York Times reported in November 2020 that three additional White House staffers had tested positive, with at least one having attended an election night event. Politico also reported on Jack's involvement in White House political operations during this period.

Jack served in the role until January 20, 2021, the final day of the first Trump administration. He was succeeded in a reconstituted version of the position by Emmy Ruiz, who served as Director of Political Strategy and Outreach in the Biden administration.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had previously identified Jack as among the Georgians likely to receive positions in the Trump administration, reflecting his deep ties to both the Trump political operation and the Georgia Republican establishment.

Trump 2024 Campaign

After leaving the White House, Jack continued his involvement in Trump's political operations. When Trump launched his 2024 presidential campaign, Jack served as a senior advisor. The Washington Post reported on Trump's circle of campaign advisors for the 2024 race, noting the return of several figures from his earlier campaigns and administration.

Jack played a role in the campaign's endorsement strategy, working to build political coalitions and secure support from Republican elected officials and candidates. The New York Times reported on Trump's endorsement operations during the 2024 campaign cycle, in which Jack was involved.

U.S. House of Representatives (2025–present)

Jack was elected to represent Georgia's 3rd congressional district in the November 2024 election, succeeding Drew Ferguson, who did not seek re-election. He took office on January 3, 2025.

The 3rd district encompasses a large portion of western and central Georgia, including areas south and west of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Jack's deep ties to both the national Republican establishment and the Georgia Republican network positioned him as a formidable candidate for the open seat.

Legislative Activity

In his first year in Congress, Jack has engaged in both bipartisan and party-line legislative efforts. In July 2025, Jack co-introduced bipartisan legislation with Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS-03) aimed at providing professional boxers with expanded opportunities, improved compensation, and greater safety protections. The bipartisan nature of the legislation was notable given the polarized political environment of the 119th Congress.

District Engagement and Federal Investments

Jack has been active in securing federal funding for infrastructure and development projects within his district. In February 2026, he announced a $3 million federal investment in the City of Thomaston's pedestrian safety improvements in its downtown area. He also secured a $4.75 million federal investment for Coweta County infrastructure and water supply improvements.

Jack has also used his office to facilitate diplomatic and economic engagement in his district. In February 2026, he hosted Consul General of Japan Kenichi Matsuda in Peachtree City for an economic tour of Japanese-owned, American-operated businesses, highlighting international investment in the district.

In January 2026, Jack hosted United States Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in Coweta County for a roundtable discussion on education initiatives, demonstrating his continued connections to the Trump administration.

Republican Candidate Recruitment

According to a February 2026 report by NOTUS, Jack has spent a significant portion of his first year in Congress meeting with and recruiting potential Republican House candidates across the country. The report described Jack as working to build the Republican bench for future election cycles, leveraging his extensive political network and experience from the Trump campaigns and White House tenure. This recruitment activity represents an unusual level of national political engagement for a freshman member of Congress and reflects Jack's background as a political operative.

Community Engagement

Beyond his legislative and political work, Jack has participated in community events within his district. In September 2025, he served as an announcer at the final game of the Columbus Clingstones, a minor league baseball team in Columbus, Georgia.

Personal Life

Jack is a resident of Georgia and represents the state's 3rd congressional district. According to a Pew Research Center analysis of religious affiliations of members of the 119th Congress, Jack's faith affiliation has been documented as part of the broader profile of congressional members.

Jack's career trajectory from campaign operative to White House official to member of Congress has been closely tied to his relationship with Donald Trump and the broader Trump political movement. His political career has been defined by a combination of Georgia roots and national-level Republican political engagement, moving between Washington, D.C., campaign trails, and his home state over the course of more than a decade in professional politics.
