Edwin Feulner

Ed Feulner (born Edwin John Feulner, Jr. on August 12, 1941) has been the President of the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation since 1977. His replacement is expected in April 2013, with US Senator Jim DeMint (R, SC) named in late 2012 as his successor.

According to the Heritage Foundation, its mission is "to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense".
