The General Counsel of the Republican National Lawyers Association (RLNA) is a Florida lawyer who’s getting another crack at the position.
Ben Gibson was reappointed this month to the General Counsel’s job of the RLNA. Gibson was lauded by the Republican Party of Florida for the top legal position in the organization that represents the conservative-leaning legal eagles.
Even Power, Under Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, said in a news release, Gibson has already been instrumental in building effective legal teams across the U.S. and provided victories for the party regarding Florida’s election laws.
“Ben Gibson is one of the best Republican lawyers in the nation. He has delivered big wins for Florida and the Republican Party. We are proud of his reappointment to the RNLA and proud that Florida continues to lead the nation in election integrity,” Power said.
The RNLA is a networking organization for lawyers who are Republican and the group’s main objectives include advancing professionalism for practicing lawyers and law students. The group provides networking and legal education for political, government and legislative law. It also advocates for open and fair elections while advancing Republican philosophy. Gibson is also on the Board of Governors for the Executive Committee for the RNLA and is the Chapter Chair of the group.
Beyond his RNLA activities, Gibson is the Managing Partner for the law firm Shutts & Bowen in the Tallassee office. Gibson primarily practices political law and has represented statewide political candidates, Republican Party committees, political committees and nonprofit organizations in litigation, compliance and administrative proceedings on the state and national level.
Gibson was one of Florida’s electors in the presidential election for 2024 and cast his ballot for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Electoral College. Gibson’s also been the Chief Legal Counsel for the Republican Party of Florida for the past four election cycles.
