Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Project 2025 contributor coming to Milwaukee to tout Trump’s ‘Agenda 47’

• Conservative commentator Monica Crowley is coming to Milwaukee today to tout former President Donald Trump’s economic policies.
  
  
• Crowley, who will be in town for the “Team Trump Agenda 47 Policy Tour,” was also listed as a contributor to Project 2025.
  
  
• The Project 2025 Presidential Transition Project was created by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation in conjunction with more than 100 conservative organizations, according to its website. Heritage was a sponsor of the July Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

• “Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s dangerous and extreme plan to give him unprecedented power over Wisconsinites’ lives, so it’s no surprise he’s sending in one of the contributors to this plan to campaign for him in Milwaukee,” Kristi Johnston, the Wisconsin Democratic Coordinated Campaign rapid response director, said in a statement.
  
  
• The policy blueprint calls for replacing civil service government employees with partisan appointees and eliminating the Department of Education, among other proposals.

• Crowley is among those credited with contributing to a chapter on the U.S. Treasury Department.

• And while Trump has tried to distance himself from it, writing on his social media platform Truth Social that he knows “nothing about Project 2025,” a July USA TODAY analysis found that at least 31 of the project’s 38 creators had connections with Trump’s administration.

• And, his platform overlaps with Project 2025’s proposals on such topics as illegal immigration and shutting down the Department of Education, USA TODAY previously reported in a fact check.
