Welcome to the Messaging and Data Lab at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), where we precisely frame and define America First policies and accomplishments, leveraging the latest data and polling. Our mission is to empower conservatives with the tools needed to win the argument against the Far-Left ideology—once and for all.

"Every policy the Left embraces, promotes, and implements is unpopular with the American people and a complete failure," said Hogan Gidley, former Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary and Senior Strategic Communications Advisor at AFPI. "Liberals support unsuccessful policy, but they often have more successful messaging. The AFPI Messaging and Data Lab will work to level the language playing field by pairing the America First policies that are proven to produce great results for all Americans with the sharper, stronger, data-driven messaging needed to define the argument and win."

Our lab utilizes publicly available polling, exclusive data from Kellyanne Conway, insights from top polling experts, and public sentiment analysis from social media and focus groups.

Supporting this initiative are notable figures such as Marc Lotter, former Director of Strategic Communications for the Trump-Pence 2020 campaign and Chief Communications Officer at AFPI, along with AFPI's communications and policy teams. Together, we ensure that America First policies are communicated effectively and compellingly to the American public, driving a narrative grounded in truth and data. Join us as we reshape the political landscape with facts and unwavering commitment to America First principles.
