Mehlman managed Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign, and was 62nd Chairman of the Republican National Committee from 2005–07. In 2007, Bush appointed Mehlman to a five-year term on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council.

Mehlman addressed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) a full year before Bush addressed the civil rights organization. In his address to the NAACP on July 14, 2005 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Mehlman apologized for his party’s failure to reach out to the black community in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, stating, “Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization… I am here as Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.”

Mehlman was Bush’s choice to replace Ed Gillespie as the chair of the Republican National Committee and was elected to the post on January 19, 2005. Mehlman announced after the November 2006 general election that he would not seek re-election to another term as Republican National Chairman. One of his top deputies, RNC political Director Michael DuHaime, announced in December 2006 that he would become campaign manager for Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Mehlman received his undergraduate degree in 1988 from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he became a member of Phi Kappa Tau’s Xi chapter. He received his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1991, where he was a classmate of future President Barack Obama.

Mehlman practiced environmental law at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in Washington, D.C. from 1991 to 1994, when he became legislative director to Representative Lamar S. Smith of Texas’s 21st congressional district. Mehlman served as Smith’s legislative director from 1994 to 1996, and then as chief of staff to Representative Kay Granger of Texas’s 12th congressional district from 1996 to 1999.

A Democratic analysis of phone records introduced at the 2005 criminal trial of James Tobin, the Northeast political director for the RNC in 2002, shows that Mehlman made 115 outgoing calls – mostly to the same number in the White House office of political affairs – between September 17 and November 22, 2002, when the office of political affairs was headed by Mehlman. Two dozen calls were made from 9:28 a.m. the day before the election through 2:17 a.m. on the night after the voting, a three-day period. Virtually all the calls to the White House went to the same phone number. In April 2006, Mehlman issued a statement on the matter, noting that his deputy for the Northeast states routinely discussed election business with RNC officials, and categorically stated that “none of my conversations nor the conversations of my staff, involved discussion of the phone-jamming incident.” Tobin was convicted on December 15, 2005 “for his part in a plot to jam the Democratic Party’s phones on Election Day 2002”; however, this conviction was later overturned by a federal appeals court and Tobin was acquitted on all charges.

A Washington Post poll shows that Bush’s approval rating among African Americans fell to two percent at one point, and a report card issued by the NAACP gave “F’s” to a majority of Republicans in the 109th Congress.
