America First Policy Institute

The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit conservative think tank that was founded in 2021 to promote an America First public policy agenda. Greg Sindelar became the organization's interim president and CEO in March 2025. AFPI was founded by Brooke Rollins, who served as president and CEO and who serves as Secretary of Agriculture under Donald Trump's second administration, and Larry Kudlow, who served as vice chair and formerly served as the director of the National Economic Council under Trump's first administration. The founding chairperson of the organization was Linda McMahon, who formerly served as Administrator of the Small Business Administration under Trump's first administration and currently serves as Secretary of Education under Trump's second administration. In a March 2026 Politico article highlighting the organization's influence, AFPI president and CEO Greg Sindelar said that "If you look at our America First agenda that we put forth, it had innumerable ideas and policy ideas that we would love to see happen. In fact, I think this administration's already like 90, 91 percent already in some sort of action." He added, "When Trump 2.0… happened, we were able to just start acting on the implementation of those ideas with the various agencies."
