AUSTIN – The Texas Public Policy Foundation, one of America’s premier state-level free-market research institutes, issued the following statement from president and CEO Brooke Rollins, on the news of Sen. Jim DeMint’s announced move from the U.S. Senate to head up the Heritage Foundation:
“We view the Heritage Foundation as America’s flagship free-market public policy think tank and, as such, see them as a vital partner in our work. We are delighted with the news that Sen.

America faces huge challenges and great opportunities. Sen. DeMint’s principled leadership at the helm of the nation’s most important conservative institute will be instrumental in developing answers to these challenges.”
