Before returning to the White House in January, Mailman served as the director of Independent Women’s Law Center, the legal arm of Independent Women. In this role, she fought to preserve women’s sports and spaces like sororities and testified and spoke out about the need to define sex-based terms like “male” and “female” in state and federal law.

Mailman also played a major role in pushing back against the Biden-Harris administration’s Title IX rewrite by traveling nationwide last June with the “Take Back Title IX” bus tour, sponsored by the Our Bodies, Our Sports coalition. She also took direct legal action against the Biden-Harris administration’s Title IX rewrite.

Mailman reflected on what it’s like working for President Trump, saying, “It is constant. It’s all the time. It’s zero error. It’s difficult.” Especially because, as she details, those working for the president realize that time is of the essence when it comes to advancing his agenda. 

“We have four years to deregulate, to preserve freedom, to close the border, to make our nation energy dominant. We have only four years. And if any of that is going to be durable, if it’s going to last beyond the four years, then it has to be done in the first year. It has to be done on the first day,” Mailman said.

“And I think that that energy of ‘It all needs to be done now for it to be lasting’ has changed the culture in the White House and the agencies,” she added.

Samantha Aschieris, senior contributor for Independent Women Features and producer of the Champion Women profile series, said: “May Mailman’s dedication to women’s rights and her strategic vision in policy-making are truly inspiring. Her commitment to preserving the integrity of women’s spaces and sports is a testament to her leadership and advocacy.”
