Executive Compensation at the Conservative Partnership Institute (2023)

The Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) is a tax-exempt, no-profit organization based in Washington, DC that provides assistance in the form of staffing, education, training, incubation, and coalition building for congressional offices and conservative groups.

Formed in 2017, CPI has 7 voting members on its governing board, 4 of whom are independent. With 30 employees, CPI is a right wing lobbying group that emerged from being virtually unheard of in 2017 to a major “host” of events for Republican members of Congress by 2021 (From 2017-2020, CPI was a very small non-profit that raised $2-$6 million annually. In 2021-2022, revenue jumped to $46 million and $36 million, respectively primarily because of an increase in contributions. But expenses did not increase in accordance with revenue as CPI also appears to be focused on saving – at year-end 2022, CPI had $43 million in net assets meaning they did not spend all the revenue they received).

Why I (a Democrat) Donated to Liz Cheney’s Re-Election Campaign

If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would ever donate to Liz Cheney’s re-election campaign, the answer would have been “I would rather eat dirt” then endorse a politician who does not support gay rights, gun control, and most important of all:  a woman’s right to choose what to do with her body.  But, if there’s anything I’ve learned the past few years, it’s “never say never.”

On the political spectrum, I would be classified as a fiscally conservative socially liberal independent.  With two major political parties (the Democrats and the Republicans) controlling this country, most candidates take the party stand on issues so it’s difficult to completely support a candidate if you’re a moderate centralist. You have to decide which issues are the most important to you and not be a single issue voter because life is way too complicated to narrow support to one issue. Read more »
