Corey Lewandowski Wife, Family, Biography, Net Worth, Height
If there is a common denominator for every member of Donald Trump’s inner circle, then it’s an often unpopular willingness to literally fight for their boss. Corey Lewandowski embodies just about everything Trump wants in an ally; tough, loyal and always ready to fight.
A seasoned political operative, Corey Lewandowski had worked with a few congressmen and senators, helping them formulate and execute election strategies, but had never done so with a presidential candidate and surely never with one as unorthodox as Trump.
The pair bonded chemistry after being invited to the 26th floor of Trump Tower in December 2014 on the recommendation of a Trump associate. He convinced Trump that he would work harder than anyone if given the chance. What he lacked in experience he made up for with searing determination and a raging temper – a combination Trump seems to enjoy.
Corey Lewandowski bio
Corey, of Polish descent, was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts, where he also attended a non-profit high school – Lowell Catholic High School. He holds a degree in political science from the University of Massachusetts-Lowell and a master’s degree in political science from the American University in Washington DC.
In 1994, while still a student at the University of Massachusetts, Corey first got into politics when he ran for an open seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. He lost to Democrat Thomas Golden Jr. who incidentally grew up on the same street as Corey.
After his defeat, while studying for his Master’s degree in Washington, Corey compiled a list of every member of Congress who had won their election with less than 55% of the votes cast. His offer was simple: “Let me run your next campaign and get your numbers.” After various failed attempts, he was hired by Ohio Republican Congressman Bob Ney to lead his campaign. Ney won and employed Corey as an administrative assistant, a position he held from December 1997 to February 2001.
After leaving Ney’s office, he was recruited by the Republican National Committee to oversee legislative/political affairs in the Northeast.
Corey Lewandowski was back at his favorite place – the campaign trail as campaign manager and communications director for New Hampshire Senator Robert Smith’s 2002 re-election campaign.
Between 2008 and 2015, Corey Lewandowski worked as East Coast Regional Director and later National Director of Voter Registration at Americans for Prosperity.
As it became clearer that Trump was going to run for president, Lewandowski was recruited as a campaign manager and became one of President Trumps closest aides. The kitchen cabinet at the time included Hope Hicks, Dan Scavino, Michael Glassner and a few others.
As Trump’s campaign manager, Corey worked with the idea of always “let Trump be Trump,” words that appeared on his whiteboard. As a campaign manager, he was not far from controversial and was repeatedly accused of physically abusing journalists and Trump dissidents at political rallies. In March 2016, Lewandowski was charged with one count of physically abusing a journalist, Michelle Fields.

Corey Lewandowski met Alison Hardy when she was just an 8th grader and he himself was just a class ahead. The childhood romance blossomed in high school and college, but for some unknown reason, Alison married one of Corey’s closest friends, Brian Kinney in 1998.
