Since the AI‘s inception, we’ve had the privilege of publishing some of the best minds in policy. With a new Administration taking over the White House in January, it’s not surprising that a number of these minds have found jobs in government. Now that they’ve had a chance to settle in at their new posts, we decided to go back into the archives to highlight the arguments they made in our pages. Below are some of our authors who are now in the Administration, their current posts, and links to the articles they penned for us. We’ll be watching to see whether they are able to enact any of the policies they prescribed.
