Overview
- LA28 quietly posted an expanded 35-member volunteer board that now includes Kevin McCarthy, Reince Priebus, Diane Hendricks, Patrick Dumont and Ken Moelis.
- Los Angeles business consultant Denita Willoughby and philanthropist Maria Hummer-Tuttle were also added, while Paralympian Muffy Davis is no longer listed.
- Chair Casey Wasserman issued a statement welcoming the additions and praising their potential to help deliver the Games.
- LA28 has not explained why the board was expanded or how the new members were selected, with inquiries from reporters going unanswered.
- The additions come after Trump signed an executive order in August naming himself chair of a federal task force for the 2028 Games, following earlier federal deployments to Los Angeles.
