Former Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint is reportedly launching a new group for conservatives aimed at helping new lawmakers deal with GOP leadership.
Axios reported Monday that DeMint, a former South Carolina senator, will start a group called the Conservative Partnership Institute, which will serve as a “support system” for new lawmakers.
Several former employees of Heritage will work for DeMint at the new organization, which will help conservative lawmakers staff their offices and seeks to emulate the approach that has helped the House Freedom Caucus become successful on Capitol Hill.
“CPI fills a unique role that is critically needed in Washington, partnering with conservative members, staff and the movement to succeed in advancing liberty,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) told Axios.
