America First Transition Project

Since June 2022, the America First Transition Project team has been working to ensure that the next America First administration has the necessary knowledge, skills, and personnel to govern effectively on day one, and to quickly advance the president’s agenda on behalf of the American people. We know from experience that success will require an administration led by America First leaders who understand how the executive branch works. The work we do now will pay significant dividends later as we pave the way for more political appointees and officials to have a clear plan of action when they start on day one.

Through this initiative, America First Policy Institute (AFPI) brings together more experienced former senior administration leaders than any similar effort has ever seen. Our work is also broader and deeper in scope than previous transition efforts because we are crafting action-oriented plans for each federal department and agency. These action plans outline the management, personnel, policy, financial, and administrative strategies the leadership teams of these departments and agencies will need to gain control of their organizations and execute America First policies swiftly. We are also documenting universal best practices for administration officials across the federal government. And, we are coordinating with other conservative organizations to maximize the impact that our work will have.
