Restoration of America, which oversees Restoration News, was established in 2015 by Doug Truax. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army Captain, Truax founded the organization to restore American freedom by electing conservative leaders and promoting transparent elections. The group addresses threats from internal Marxist neo-liberals and external forces like Communist China through campaigns advocating limited government, secure borders, military superiority, rule of law, and sanctity of life. It coordinates conservative efforts nationwide and operates subsidiaries such as the Voter Reference Foundation for election data transparency.
