About our Speakers
Evan Power has been serving as the Chair of the Republican Party of Florida since January 2024 and is a member of the Republican National Committee. Before this role, he chaired the Leon County Republican Party and was the Vice Chair
of the Republican Party of Florida. Evan’s political journey began after he graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Finance. He worked for Florida Representative Marco Rubio and became actively involved in the Leon County Republican Party. Despite the county’s Democratic lean, he led the local party to notable victories, including Corey Simon’s historic win for a state Senate seat that had not been held by Republicans since Reconstruction. Within the Republican National Committee, Evan currently serves on the Rules, Election Integrity and Presidential Nomination Process committees.
William “Bill” Helmich is a veteran Republican strategist and consultant based in Tallahassee, Florida. With over 25 years in conservative politics, he brings leadership and discipline honed during his service in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Since joining the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) in 1997, Helmich has managed Florida House campaigns, guided candidates, and strengthened GOP majorities in the legislature. From 2000 to 2006, he served as Chief of Staff in
the Florida House Majority Office, working with then-Representative Marco Rubio on the development of 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida’s Future. Appointed Interim Executive Director of the RPOF in April 2024 and later confirmed to the position, Helmich focuses on retaining Florida’s Republican supermajorities and supporting
President Donald Trump. A graduate of Norwich University with a degree in Military History, he is recognized for his integrity, loyalty, and strategic insight. He resides in North Florida with his wife, Laura, and their son, Charles.
