Ronna Romney née Ronna Eileen Stern, (born September 24, 1943) is a Michigan Republican politician and radio talk show host.
She has twice been a candidate for U.S. Senator. In 1994, she narrowly lost the primary to Spencer Abraham; in 1996, she defeated party favorite Jim Nicholson to win the Republican nomination, but lost the general election to incumbent Senator Carl Levin.
From 1984 to 1992, she was a member of the Republican National Committee from Michigan; she was an alternate delegate to the 1988 Republican National Convention. [1]
From 1989 to 1993, she served as Chairperson of the President's Commission on White House Fellowships. From 1982 to 1985, she served as Commissioner of the Presidents' National Advisory Council on Adult Education.
Romney has been on the Board Directors of Molina Healthcare since 1999. She has also served on the Board of Directors for Park-Ohio Holding Corporation, a publicly-traded logistics company, since 1999.
Ronna is the ex-wife of G. Scott Romney and hence the former daughter-in-law of Michigan governor George Romney and his wife Lenore Romney. In 1994, her ex-father-in-law pointedly endorsed her opponent in the Republican U.S. Senate primary. Former Massachusetts governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was her brother-in-law. Terry Rakolta is her sister.
