The president credited Gor with playing a central role in his “historic presidential campaigns,” publishing his best-selling books, and leading a major pro-Trump super PAC.

Sergio Gor was born as Sergio Gorokhovsky on November 30, 1986, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He later studied at George Washington University, where he became active with the College Republicans.

Gor began his political career working as a spokesman for Republican lawmakers including Michele Bachmann, Steve King, and Randy Forbes. In 2013, he became communications director for Senator Rand Paul’s PAC, RANDPAC, and continued to work closely with the Kentucky senator.
