The conservative think tank has a new, ambitious and controversial policy plan,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.project2025.org\/\">Project 2025<\/a>, which calls for an overhaul of American public policy and government.<\/p>\n<p>Project 2025\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/project-2025.html\">lays out<\/a>\u00a0many standard conservative ideas \u2013 like prioritizing energy production over environmental and climate-change concerns, and rejecting the idea of abortion as health care \u2013 along with some much more extreme ones, like criminalizing pornography. And it proposes to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.project2025.org\/policy\/%22%22\">eliminate or restructure countless government agencies<\/a>\u00a0in line with conservative ideology.<\/p>\n<p>While think tanks sometimes have the reputation of being stuffy academic institutions detached from day-to-day politics, Heritage is far different. By design, Heritage was founded to not only develop conservative policy ideas but also to advance them through direct political advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>All think tanks are classified as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/charities-non-profits\/charitable-organizations\/exemption-requirements-501c3-organizations\">501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations<\/a>, which are prohibited from engaging in elections and can take part in only a small amount of political lobbying. But some, like Heritage, also form affiliated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/charities-non-profits\/other-non-profits\/social-welfare-organizations\">501(c)(4) organizations<\/a>\u00a0that allow them to participate in campaigns and lobby extensively. Heritage is one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/elections\/2024\/07\/17\/what-is-heritage-foundation-project-25\/74426230007\/#\">sponsors of the Republican National Convention<\/a>, which wraps up in Milwaukee on July 18, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In research for my forthcoming book, \u201cPartisan Policy Networks,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=N1n3licAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">I\u2019ve found that a growing share of think tanks<\/a>\u00a0are explicitly ideological, aligned with a single political party, and engaged in direct policy advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Heritage stands out from all of the groups I investigated. It is much more conservative and more closely aligned with former President Donald Trump\u2019s style of Republicanism. Heritage is also more aggressive in its advocacy for conservative ideas, pairing campaign spending with lobbying and large-scale grassroots mobilization.<\/p>\n<p>Americans should expect to hear a lot more about its ideas, like those outlined in Project 2025, if Trump is reelected in November 2024.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A new type of think tank<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Two Republican congressional staffers, Ed Feulner and Paul Weyrich, formed Heritage\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.nytimes.com\/www.nytimes.com\/books\/first\/e\/edwards-ideas.html\">in 1973 as an explicit rebuke to existing think tanks<\/a>\u00a0that they thought were either too liberal or too meek in advancing conservative ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Feulner and Weyrich were particularly incensed about how a preeminent conservative think tank at the time, the American Enterprise Institute, or AEI, timed its release of a policy report in 1971 on whether to approve government\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1971\/03\/25\/archives\/senate-bars-funds-for-sst-5146-nixon-calls-vote-severe-blow.html\">funding for supersonic transport airplanes<\/a>, which can fly faster than the speed of sound. AEI published its recommendations several days after Congress voted on the issue, because it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.nytimes.com\/www.nytimes.com\/books\/first\/e\/edwards-ideas.html\">\u201cdidn\u2019t want to try to affect the outcome of the vote<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heritage turns this philosophy on its head. Rather than producing policy research for its own sake, Heritage conducts research, as one employee told me in 2018, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7275\/3pfx-my30\">to build a case, to make the argument for policy change<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For example, Heritage\u2019s affiliated 501(c)(4) advocacy organization,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heritageaction.com\/\">Heritage Action for America<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heritageaction.com\/press\/heritage-action-announces-launch-of-super-pac-sentinel-action-fund\">Sentinel Action Fund<\/a>, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/political-action-committees-pacs\/super-pacs\/2022\">Super PAC<\/a>\u00a0set up by Heritage Action in 2022,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/orgs\/heritage-foundation\/summary?id=D000034435\">spend money to influence elections<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/orgs\/heritage-foundation\/lobbying?id=D000034435\">lobby elected officials<\/a>\u00a0on issues as diverse as taxation, abortion, immigration and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, some scholars and politicos call Heritage and other similar groups \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalaffairs.com\/publications\/detail\/devaluing-the-think-tank\">do tanks<\/a>\u201d rather than \u201cthink tanks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because Sentinel Action Fund is a Super PAC, it can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections so long as they do not coordinate with candidate campaigns. Sentinel Action Fund then spent more than US<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/outside-spending\/detail\/2022?cmte=C00811166&amp;tab=summary\">$13 million<\/a>\u00a0on voter outreach and advertising in the 2022 midterm elections.

Heritage Action for America, meanwhile, coordinated volunteers to deliver this report to Georgia legislators, had staffers meet with these legislators to advise them on passing new voting restrictions, and paid for television advertising urging citizens to support such laws.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Heritage, Trump and Project 2025<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>All these efforts add up to a great deal of influence within the Republican Party. Heritage has played a key role in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/book\/56447\">pushing Republicans toward more conservative policies<\/a>\u00a0since its creation.<\/p>\n<p>When former President Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, for example, the Heritage Foundation\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/about\/Mandate_for_Leadership.html?id=I0WGAAAAMAAJ\">had a ready-made conservative agenda<\/a>\u00a0for the new administration. By the end of his first term, Reagan executed more than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/conservatism\/commentary\/reagan-and-heritage-unique-partnership\">60% of the think tank\u2019s policy recommendations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump took office in 2016, Heritage was again ready with friendly staffers and a handy policy agenda, called the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/budget-and-spending\/report\/blueprint-reorganization-analysis-federal-departments-and-agencies\">Blueprint for Reorganization<\/a>. By the end of Trump\u2019s first year in office,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2018-05\/2017_AnnualReport_WEB.pdf\">Heritage boasted<\/a>\u00a0that he \u201chad embraced 64 percent of our 321 recommendations,\u201d among them key conservative priorities like tax reform, regulatory rollback and increased defense spending.<\/p>\n<p>Project 2025 is similar to these other sets of recommendations for Republican politicians and presidential candidates. It outlines an agenda for a new president to adopt and a team of experts to help them.<\/p>\n<p>But Project 2025 has taken on a different bent compared with earlier blueprints. Kevin Roberts, the president of Heritage, has described the group\u2019s role as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/21\/magazine\/heritage-foundation-kevin-roberts.html\">institutionalizing Trumpism<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is probably why Project 2025, and Heritage, have received such an unusually large amount of attention in recent months. The fact that a wonky, 900-page policy memo has been the focus of countless news articles and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/project-2025.html\">hundreds of Biden campaign tweets<\/a>, especially before the 2024 election, is a telling indication of its expected influence.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the Trump campaign has maintained distance from the project, as Trump himself has implausibly claimed that he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/07\/11\/politics\/trump-allies-project-2025\/index.html\">knows nothing about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He is likely keeping his distance from Project 2025 because parts of the agenda are far too extreme for all but the most die-hard conservative activists. But even if Trump isn\u2019t campaigning on these policies, Americans should expect Heritage ideas to matter greatly in a second Trump administration. The Heritage Foundation is built for this goal.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Zachary Albert is Assistant Professor of Politics at Brandeis University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the 2024 presidential election heats up, some people are hearing about the\u00a0Heritage Foundation\u00a0for the first time.
