Mike Pence has been named the new president of the Heritage Foundation, the influential conservative think tank that has shaped Republican policy for decades. Announced during a meeting at the organization’s Capitol Hill headquarters, Pence pledged to restore the institution to its “Reagan-era roots” with strong conservative leadership.
His appointment signals a new direction for both Pence and the Heritage Foundation. He is expected to promote the organization’s Project 2025, a comprehensive presidential transition plan, as a guide for the next Republican administration, regardless of who wins the presidency. Heritage leaders say Pence’s focus is on advancing long-term conservative ideas beyond any single election.
Pence also plans to expand his advocacy for strict abortion restrictions, school choice, and tougher policies toward China. His first initiative will be a “Faith & Freedom” lecture series featuring prominent Republican figures, reinforcing his influence within the conservative movement and the party’s future agenda.
