DeMint represented South Carolina in the U.S. House (1999-2005) and U.S. Senate (2005-2013). Known for policy entrepreneurship, he authored leading conservative reforms to health care, education, taxes, and entitlements. DeMint garnered national acclaim from conservatives for leading efforts to ban congressional earmarks, which had been the source of billions of dollars of wasteful spending for decades and led to corruption and widespread abuse. He also successfully led the fight to stop the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill in 2007. He is the Founder of the Senate Conservatives Fund, which played a major role in the election of many of the Senate’s leading conservatives like Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ron Johnson, Pat Toomey, Ben Sasse, and Tom Cotton. He also served as the President of The Heritage Foundation for four years, taking the organization to new heights of influence. Under DeMint’s direction, Heritage played a major role in the Trump transition, with the policy series “Mandate for Leadership” used as the basis for the President’s first budget and numerous other administration reforms. During DeMint’s tenure, Heritage partnered with the Federalist Society to create a list of possible Supreme Court judicial nominations that culminated in the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch. He is the author of the books Now or Never: Saving America from Economic Collapse (Center Street, 2012); The Great American Awakening: Two Years that Changed America, Washington and Me (B&H, 2011); and Saving Freedom: We Can Stop America’s Slide into Socialism (Fidelis, 2009).

Jim Doman never imagined that he would enter the homosexual lifestyle after being raised in a God-fearing home and accepting Christ at age seven. He was so desperate to love and be loved that he didn’t care that his partner was HIV positive. God changed his life forever on June 8, 2002, when he lost all his worldly possessions and distinctly heard God’s voice telling him to come back to Him. God began to restore him and he enrolled in seminary at Azusa Pacific University. After he graduated from seminary, he became a pastor at Rose Drive Friends Church. He realized that he could no longer ignore the troublesome news stories about public policy concerning marriage. Six years after leaving the gay lifestyle and one month before the successful passage of Proposition 8, God continued His work of restoration when he met his wife, Amanda. They have three children, Aliah, Ryker, & Asher. His passion is to see California transformed for Christ.
