Conservative Operative Paul Dans Quits As Head Of Controversial Project 2025 After It Becomes Political Lightning Rod

Conservative political operative Paul Dans stepped down as the director of the Heritage Foundation’s controversial initiative, Project 2025.
The initiative is focused on aiding the former president in the possible transformation of the federal government if he wins the 2024 presidential election. The campaign forced Dans out of his job as it sought political cover from a controversy hounding conservatives.
The manifesto gained widespread criticism in recent weeks over its extremist proposals that would demand fealty from federal workers, as well as promote Christian nationalism, further restrict abortion, abandon climate-change initiatives and restructure the departments of Justice and Defense.

In an email to colleagues, Dans confirmed that he would be stepping down from his role at Heritage Foundation, stating that he was leaving in August to focus his energy on “winning bigly” for conservative candidates this election cycle.
