James Nicholas "Nick" Ayers is an American political strategist. He currently serves as a partner in Target Enterprises, a strategic media and communications firm based in Los Angeles. Previously, he served as campaign manager for former governor Tim Pawlenty's 2012 Presidential Campaign.
In 2010, Ayers was named as one of Time Magazine's 40 most influential people in politics under the age of 40, highlighting his growing influence in national politics.
On November 11, 2016 Ayers joined President-elect Donald Trump's Presidential transition team as a Senior Adviser.
Ayers grew up in southern Cobb County, Georgia. Early on, his parents instilled on him a respect for public service, with Ayers later recalling that in 1992, his parents voted for Bill Clinton and H. Ross Perot. In the 1990s, Ayers described himself as being rather taken with President Clinton and then-Governor Zell Miller, a Democrat.
Ayers graduated from South Cobb High School in 2000. He then went on to study at Kennesaw State University, where he earned his college degree in 2009. Ayers also studied International and Government Affairs at the University of Surrey at Roehampton in London.
While studying for his undergraduate degree, Ayers joined the College Republicans, becoming president of the school's chapter. During this time, he met Sonny Perdue, who at the time was a Republican state senator, planning to run for Governor. Ayers joined Perdue's campaign, which was successful in unseating Democratic incumbent Roy Barnes. This made Perdue the first Republican Governor of Georgia since Reconstruction.
