The Heritage Foundation announced that the 2025 Presidential Transition Project now has 60 coalition partners serving on its advisory board.
The project is a collaboration focused on bringing on a “successful presidential administration” beginning in January 2025, a recent Heritage press release said. It is organized by The Heritage Foundation and aligns with the commitment of the organization to provide policy and personnel recommendations for incoming administrations. The focus now is on the conservative movement.
“Project 2025 is proud to work with 60 of the nation’s leading conservative organizations joining forces to prepare and seize the day,” Paul Dans, the project’s director and former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management during the Trump administration, said in the release. “Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the administrative state.”
Dans is working alongside Associate Director Spencer Chretien, and there are more than 60 entities currently on the advisory board—a dramatic increase from prior years, the release said. The primary objective of the project is to assemble a dedicated and prepared conservative force that will have a 180-day playbook to effectively navigate and transform the administrative state. This will be done with the proper agenda, personnel and training.
“With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government,” Chretien said in the release.
Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, initiated Project 2025 with the aim of developing a governing agenda for the next conservative president while ensuring that the administration is staffed with capable individuals ready to implement those ideas on January 20, 2025. The coalition has already released its policy agenda, known as Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise; along with the Presidential Administration Academy and Presidential Personnel Database.
