Source-first research
Research starting points
A source-first starting point for research into conservative political organizations, personnel networks, policy institutions and the documented relationships between them.
These are entry points into existing public research, not a claim of wrongdoing, a comprehensive list of political actors, or proof that separate organizations act in concert. Each dossier points readers to relevant documents and states evidentiary limits.
Conservative Partnership Institute
CPI's personnel, training and institutional relationships. CPI is a conservative nonprofit whose documented work includes staff development and organizational support. Our entry separates published institutional records from assumptions about coordination.
Conservative Partnership Academy
Training infrastructure. The Academy is relevant for understanding how legislative and governing skills are taught and circulated through organized political networks.
Center for Renewing America
Policy development and government personnel. Founded by Russ Vought in 2021, this organization offers a documented case study of policy work and personnel movement across government and outside institutions.
Free Congress Foundation
Historical New Right organizing infrastructure. Paul Weyrich's Free Congress organizations offer historical context for recurring training, fundraising, and issue-advocacy models.
Mark Meadows
A personnel and relationship profile. A sourced biography and timeline connecting congressional and White House service with the documented Conservative Partnership Institute relationship.
