Americans for Prosperity, a conservative grassroots organization, released a statement on Thursday lauding the appointment of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) as the new Heritage Foundation president.
“Senator Jim DeMint will be sorely missed as a leading voice in the Senate for limited government and spending restraint,” said Tim Phillips, President of AFP. “While he will be missed in the Senate, the conservative movement and The Heritage Foundation have gained a strong new voice and brilliant leader.”
