President-elect Donald Trump announced on Monday afternoon key personnel that he has selected to lead three key White House offices.

Trump tapped James Braid — who has served as the lead policy aide to Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) during his term in the U.S. Senate — to be the White House as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs.

Braid worked in legislative affairs at the Office of Management and Budget during the Trump administration’s first term in office.

Prior to working in the Trump administraiton, Braid served as Chief of Staff to multiple members of Congress, Policy Director of the House Freedom Caucus, and other senior policy roles on Capitol Hill.

Trump named Matt Brasseaux to serve as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Political Affairs.

Brasseaux served as Deputy Political Director for the 2024 Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC), the Trump transition team said.

He played a key role in Trump winning in battleground states in the southwest U.S.

Prior to joining the Trump campaign, Brasseaux served as a regional director at the RNC and as Campaign Manager for now-Governor Joe Lombardo in Nevada.

Trump selected Alex Latcham to be Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Public Liaison.

Latcham has worked for Trump for the last eight years, the Trump transition team said, most recently serving as a senior political director to the Trump campaign and the RNC.

“He advised President Trump on political races and endorsements, served as the campaign’s liaison to Republican sister committees, and oversaw the first four states on the 2024 Republican Presidential Primary calendar as the Early States Director,” the transition team said. “Latcham previously served as Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Political Director during the first Trump Administration.”
