A Vision for Conservative Leadership: Heritage's Next President, Dr. Kevin Roberts

Dr. Kevin Roberts casts his vision for his role at the helm as president of The Heritage Foundation — and for the organization's greater part to play in preserving conservative principles, and furthering liberty and opportunity for Americans everywhere — during his inaugural address on October 14, 2021.

Roberts currently serves as the chief executive officer of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), an Austin-based nonprofit, nonpartisan research institute and the largest state think tank in the nation. Under Roberts’ leadership, TPPF more than doubled in size. He also expanded the Texas think tank’s influence nationwide, opening an office in Washington, D.C., so that TPPF research might better inform federal policy debates.

As president of The Heritage Foundation, Roberts will continue to lead policy research efforts on many of the issues he championed at TPPF, including education, health care, border security, election integrity, and more, and his leadership will also be critical in pushing back on the radical, socialist agenda being advanced by the left at all levels of government. At a time when so many bad ideas are coming out of Washington, his experience advancing sound policy at the state and national levels will be vital.
