“We are excited to expand our board and leadership,” stated Sen.

Our board’s expertise and guidance are paramount to the continued success of conservative policies not only for our organization, but for the entirety of our state.”
TCCRI was founded in 1996 by a group of state leaders determined to implement conservative public policies in state government. TCCRI has been very successful in living up to its mission of shaping public policy through a principled approach to government.
The work of TCCRI is based upon the four core principles of Limited Government, Individual Liberty, Free Enterprise, and Traditional Values. Together, they form the LIFT principles and underpin the work of TCCRI’s board of directors and staff.
