Gary Emineth (born October 24, 1958) is a former political figure in the U.S. state of North Dakota, who served as the Chairman of the North Dakota Republican Party since July 2007's retirement of Ken Karls. He was chosen at the party's committee meeting in Fargo, North Dakota in July 2007.
In the 2010 election, he led the North Dakota Republican Party as every single Republican candidate for statewide office won election, including US Representative and US Senator. During both of his terms as state party chairman, Republicans significantly increased their majorities in both houses of the state legislature. Republicans currently lead the House by a 69–25 margin and the Senate by a 35–12 margin.
In a letter to the members of the Republican National Committee, he wrote, "As a former finance director, executive director, finance chairman and finally Party chairman, I learned one thing—it wasn’t about me. It was all about getting all the pieces in place and setting the wheels in motion so that the victory train would come rolling into the station exactly on time with Republican candidates on board. To be a successful chairman is first and foremost to know your job description and not become distracted by the siren songs heard inside the beltway." [1]
