Angela Marie "Bay" Buchanan (born December 23, 1948) served as Treasurer of the United States under President Ronald Reagan[1] and was the youngest person to serve in this post when she became Treasurer at the age of 32.[2] She held that post from March 17, 1981 to July 5, 1983, after which she was appointed Chairwoman of the President's Commission on Women Business Owners.[3] She is the sister of Patrick J. Buchanan and managed his three unsuccessful campaigns for President of the United States. Previously, she was the national treasurer of the Reagan for President primary campaigns of 1976 and 1980, and the Reagan-Bush general election campaigns of 1980 and again in 1984.[4] After appearing regularly on CNN's news program "Inside Politics," she became a commentator for CNN's The Situation Room.
Bay Buchanan is president of The American Cause and her brother Pat Buchanan is chairman. In 2007, during the immigration debate their opinions were widely discussed:
| “ |
During the 45 years leading up to the Immigration Act of 1965, 10 million immigrants came to the U.S. and were successfully integrated into American culture. But the onset of mass immigration since the late 60s has overwhelmed our ability to assimilate. This year, 1.3 million more immigrants will pour into the U.S. - 400,000 of them illegal aliens. If America is to survive as one nation, we must stem this tide to mend the melting pot and assimilate the 28 million foreign-born already living within our borders.The American Cause: On the Issues. |
” |
In May 2006 Bay Buchanan was appointed chair of Team America PAC, a political action committee founded by Tom Tancredo. The mission of this PAC is to highlight the problems created by illegal immigration, and to support candidates for public office who are committed to securing the borders of the United States against illegal immigration. In 2007, Bay served as senior advisor to Tancredo's presidential campaign, after which she publicly endorsed Mitt Romney. A frequent speaker on college campuses and at major conservative events, Bay is affiliated with the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute and Young America's Foundation. She is a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormonism).
