rdf:langString Paul Scott Teller (born February 21, 1971) is the Executive Director of Advancing American Freedom. He served in the Trump White House as Special Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs, and then Director of Strategic Affairs for Vice President Mike Pence. Teller was also the former Chief of Staff for Senator Ted Cruz and former Executive Director of the United States House of Representatives Republican Study Committee. As a result of actions he and his subordinates took during the 2011 U.S. debt ceiling crisis, Republican members of the House of Representatives reportedly chanted "fire him, fire him" during a Republican Conference meeting the morning of July 27, 2011. In a profile published shortly following Teller's appointment to be Sen. Cruz's Chief of Staff, The Hill described Teller as "Cruz's agitator in chief." In late January 2017, then-President Donald Trump and Vice-President Pence hired Paul Teller as Special Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs, with a focus on Senate and House conservatives. In February 2020, the Washington Examinerreported that Teller was appointed by Vice President Pence as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Vice President, leaving his previous position in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs.
