Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 Head Steps Down


Paul Dans, who Directed the Heritage Foundation’s Controversial 2025 Presidential Transition Project (Project 2025), is stepping down from His Role in August. Dans’ Departure does Not mean the Project, which has been repeatedly Criticized by Democrats and Trump, is Shutting Down.

The Work of Project 2025, which includes Policy and Personnel Prescriptions for a Republican Administration, will continue, according to a Person familiar with the Project.

“Friends and patriots, to everything there is a season. We completed what we set out to do, which was to create a unified conservative vision, bringing together over 110 leading organizations united behind the cause of deconstructing the administrative state,” Dans wrote in an email.

“This tool was built for any administration dedicated to conservative ideals to utilize. The work of the project was due to wrap with the nominating conventions of the political parties. Our work is presently winding down, and I planned later in August to leave Heritage. Electoral season is upon us, and I want to direct all my efforts to winning bigly,” Dans wrote.

Before Leading Project 2025, Dans served as the Chief-of-Staff for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and served as the OPM’s White House Liaison, where Hhe worked with the White House Office of Presidential Personnel (OPP).

Kevin Roberts, the President of The Heritage Foundation, said in a Tweet: “When we began Project 2025 in April 2022, we set a timeline for the project to conclude its policy drafting after the two party conventions this year, and we are sticking to that timeline. Paul, who built the project from scratch and bravely led this endeavor over the past two years, will be departing the team and moving up to the front where the fight remains. We are extremely grateful for his and everyone’s work on Project 2025 and dedication to saving America' Our collective efforts to build a personnel apparatus for policymakers of all levels—federal, state, and local—will continue.”

Democrats have Criticized and Scrutinized Project 2025, including a 900-page Policy Road Map and a Database of potential Candidates for Jobs within a potential Trump Administration.

Democrats have tried to tie vulnerable Republicans and Trump to the Initiative, which they argue is a Proposal for how Trump will Reshape the Government if He’s returned to Office and have called it “Extreme” and “Dystopian.”
