Solomon Yue, Jr. is an American conservative strategist, author, and what many have called an unofficial “Ambassador of the American Dream.” Born in Communist China, he survived the turmoil of Mao’s Cultural Revolution before coming to the United States as a young international student with little more than determination and two English phrases: “Thank you” and “Coca-Cola.” To support himself, he worked as both a waiter and a janitor while earning a bachelor’s degree in Management Sciences and an MBA in International Trade. He later became a U.S. citizen through the Third Preference category for highly skilled professionals as an international trade economist.

​

After achieving citizenship, Solomon built a successful medical glove manufacturing and importing business and went on to spend nearly a quarter century representing Oregon as it's longest serving National Committeeman on the Republican National Committee, serving from 2000 to 2024. Upon his retirement, he ranked eighth in seniority among the RNC’s 168 members.

​

In 2008, Solomon co-founded the Republican National Conservative Caucus, a coalition within the RNC dedicated to advancing constitutional conservatism and America’s founding principles. That same year, he also helped establish the Republican Conservative Steering Committee, a member-driven forum for policy discussion and debate.

​

Over the years, Solomon has served as Vice Chairman of several political action committees, including the USA Super PAC, the Republican Super PAC, and the Grassroots Conservative Coalition. As President of Grassfire Strategic Planning and Management Group LLC, he directed political campaign projects across the country.

​

In 2013, Solomon founded Republicans Overseas (RO), where he continues to serve as Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership, RO has worked to connect Americans living abroad with the U.S. political process, helping overseas citizens stay informed, advocate for policy concerns, and participate more fully in American elections. In recent years, the organization has expanded its efforts to register and engage overseas voters around the world.

​

His efforts have often exceeded the normal job duties of a national committeeman, such as when he successfully lobbied on behalf of Oregon's farmers and ranchers - Oregon's grassroots - directly to President Trump's White House - or served on the RNC’s diplomatic delegation to Taiwan to meet with that nation’s President multiple times.​

​

In 2023, Solomon co-founded the Worldwide Freedom Initiative under the Republicans Overseas umbrella. The organization’s inaugural summit in Paris brought together conservative leaders from 24 nations in support of freedom and democratic values. President Trump addressed attendees by phone, Governor Kristi Noem delivered the keynote address, and Speaker Mike Johnson provided a written statement.

​

In 2024, Solomon became the first Oregonian ever invited into the RNC’s Eagles 168 in recognition of his fundraising efforts for the Trump 47 Committee. That same year, he also co-founded the Oregon Conservative Caucus, where he currently serves as Co-Chair of the Board of Directors.

​

As CEO of Republicans Overseas, Solomon led RO's team during its work with the 2024 Trump Campaign. He pitched the policy of ending double-taxation of overseas Americans, which was analyzed, adopted and announced by President Trump. That rollout brought in an estimated $50 million in earned media across the globe.

​

Today, Solomon is focused on his work with RO to end the unfair double-taxation of overseas Americans while helping the President to fulfill an important campaign promise. He frequently travels to D.C. due to those efforts.
