A Gamecock graduate who held one of the top jobs at the Republican National Committee is reportedly on her way out.

Sara Armstrong, a 1994 graduate of the University of South Carolina, is leaving her post as the RNC’s chief of staff, Politico reported Thursday. Armstrong would be just one of several staffers to leave the committee in the past month.

Armstrong was named chief of staff earlier this year, after heading Donald Trump’s inaugural committee. She has worked at the RNC since 2009 and was deputy chief of staff from 2014.

The Washington Examiner reported Armstrong is expected to take a job at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
