Matthew Aaron Schlapp (born December 18, 1967) is an American political activist and lobbyist who is chairman of the American Conservative Union.

He leads the lobbying firm Cove Strategies, which had strong ties to the Donald Trump administration.

He is also a Fox News political contributor.

Schlapp was President George W. Bush's deputy assistant and political director during Bush's first term.

He is married to Mercedes Schlapp, who was President Donald Trump's Director of Strategic Communications.

He is being sued for $9 million for battery and defamation by a former aide to failed US Senate candidate Herschel Walker, alleging that Schlapp sexually assaulted him – groping and fondling his groin area – during a car ride several weeks before the 2022 midterm election.

1986

Schlapp's early schooling began at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School in Wichita, and in 1986, he graduated from Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School.

He earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame, and went on to earn a Master's degree in public policy from Wichita State University.

1994

Schlapp began his political career in 1994 and worked five years as a press secretary, campaign manager, and chief of staff for Representative Todd Tiahrt (R-KS).

2000

He also worked on the 2000 political campaign of George W. Bush, serving as a regional political director with oversight of Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

During Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, Schlapp helped organize and was the on-site leader of the protest which became known as the Brooks Brothers riot.

The riot was a demonstration at a meeting of election canvassers in Miami-Dade County, Florida, on November 22, 2000, during a recount of votes made during the 2000 United States presidential election, with the goal of shutting down the recount.

After demonstrations and acts of violence, local officials shut down the recount early.

During the George W. Bush administration, Schlapp served as political director, and advised Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, members of Bush's cabinet, and senior White House staff, and had extensive contact with members of Congress and federal agencies.

2003

Raised in Wichita, Kansas, Matt Schlapp is the son of Susan Schlapp, a former city councilwoman who, after eight years of service on the Wichita City Council (2003-2011), became the senior constituent liaison for the Kansas Department of Commerce under Governor Sam Brownback.

2014

On June 19, 2014, Schlapp was unanimously elected chairman of the American Conservative Union.

Abbott Labs came under criticism for using Cove Strategies and Schlapp as a lobbyist despite Abbott's professed commitment to social justice and consequently cut its ties with Schlapp.

Comcast followed suit.

2016

In the final days of the Trump administration, Schlapp was also lobbying for a pardon for Parker H. "Pete" Petit, a major Republican donor, who was the Georgia finance chairman of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and was convicted of securities fraud in November 2020.

His wife was also paid, receiving $175,000 from CPAC.

In January 2023, a campaign staffer for Herschel Walker's U.S. Senate campaign alleged that Schlapp groped him in October 2022 after Schlapp had been drinking.
