Priebus won re-election with near unanimity in the party's 2013 meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.[2] He was likewise re-elected to a third term in 2015, setting him up to become the longest serving head of the party ever.[3]
A debate among the candidates hosted by Americans for Tax Reform took place on January 3, 2011, at the National Press Club.[12] Anuzis, Cino, Priebus, Steele, and Wagner participated in the debate.[13]
A poll by the National Journal, released on January 13, 2011, showed Priebus in the lead with 40 committed votes out of 168, Steele 17, Wagner 15, Anuzis 14, and Cino 12.
With 168 voting members of the RNC, 85 votes were required to win the chairmanship.
