Featured Speakers:
Chris Stirewalt is the politics editor for the Fox News Channel and one of the liveliest commentators covering politics today.
Stirewalt makes daily appearances on multiple Fox network programs, including “America's Newsroom”, “Outnumbered,” “Special Report with Bret Baier,” and “Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.”
Stirewalt is an expert storyteller and astute speaker who keeps audiences engrossed with his trademark humor while breaking down complex political issues. He offers candid and witty insights on the current political climate and the latest happenings on Capitol Hill and in the White House, as well as a breakdown of how our political party system reached its current state of polarization and what he sees coming down the pike in Washington and across the nation.
As president and CEO of State Policy Network (SPN), Tracie Sharp serves a 150+ member peer network community of independent, non-partisan, free-market allies in all 50 states.
For the last quarter century, SPN has worked to be a force for good locally, catalyzing thriving, durable freedom movements in every state, anchored with high-performing, independent state think tanks.
Under Tracie’s leadership, State Policy Network has grown from 36 think tanks in 34 states with combined revenues of about $15 million in 1999. Today SPN serves over 150 think tank members, including 64 state-focused think tanks in 49 states, employing over 500 staff, with combined revenues over $80 million. During that time SPN’s own revenues have grown from just under $200,000 in 1999 to exceeding $12 million in 2017.
