Top conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation has been actively recruiting for potential members of the Donald Trump administration, according to BuzzFeed News.
{mosads}An email obtained by BuzzFeed reveals that the think tank has been vetting candidates’ resumes as part of what the Heritage Foundation calls the Restore America Project.
“The Heritage Foundation’s Restore America Project (RAP) has built an impressive roster of conservatives for potential service in the next presidential administration — receiving recommendations from right-minded Americans from across the country,” the recruitment email read.
Although the email does not mention Trump by name, it says it’s seeking candidates to work “in an administration that will promote conservative principles.”
The email then directs the candidates to fill out forms for the Restore America Project.
“Please submit your information by completing the RAP Candidate Form linked here: Restore America Candidate Form. Once you’ve completed the form and click ‘SUBMIT’ your information will automatically download into our system confirming your interest.”
A number of politicians with connections to the think tank are also on Trump’s transition team.
These include former Heritage Foundation president Ed Feulner and former Ronald Reagan attorney general Ed Meese.
