“Edwin Feulner, founder and longtime president of the influential U.S. conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, has died at age 83, Heritage said in a statement. The Friday statement did not say when Feulner died or the cause. Feulner, a Chicago-born political scientist, founded Heritage in 1973 and became its president in 1977, a position he held until 2013. Republican President Ronald Reagan awarded him the Presidential Citizens Medal in 1989. … Heritage continues to deeply impact American conservatism — including being the institution that created Project 2025, widely considered the policy blueprint of President Donald Trump’s quick-moving second term.” (07/19/25)
