Kevin David Roberts (born June 24, 1974) is an American historian and political strategist who is the president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative political think tank, and its lobbying arm, Heritage Action. Roberts was previously the CEO of another conservative think tank, the Texas Public Policy Foundation.[1] He served as the president of Wyoming Catholic College from 2013 to 2016.[2][3]
Soon after Roberts joined Heritage in December 2021, the organization established the highly controversial Project 2025, an expansive plan to overhaul the government under a new Republican administration and implement conservative policies.[4] Roberts has been called the "mastermind of Project 2025".[5]
