DOMESTIC AND ECONOMIC POLICY

Stuart M. Butler, Vice President

Heritage’s domestic policy department includes three distinguished research areas: the Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies, Center for Data Analysis, and Domestic Policy Studies. These three areas conduct research and publish policy papers on important social and economic issues such as health care, education, crime, Social Security, taxes, and government regulation; organize issue working groups, lectures, and panel discussions; and brief the media, national, state, and local policymakers on important domestic issues.

Recent major projects include: Issues 2006, a guide to policy issues for presidential and congressional candidates; the Mandate for Leadership series, a comprehensive strategic blueprint for advancing a conservative policy agenda; and School Choice: What’s Happening in the States, a survey of school choice initiatives across the nation.
