Working with Project 2025 Collaborators on Anti-Democratic Legislation

Republicans in the House Administration Committee have served as key operators for MAGA extremists’ election and voting legislative priorities this Congress, working hand-in-hand with Project 2025 architects to try to push these bills into law.

ACE & SAVE Acts: The Republican majority on the Committee on House Administration called one of the leading authors of Project 2025, Hans von Spakovsky, to testify on behalf of the SAVE Act (H.R. 8281) at the Committee’s May 16 hearing. It called another Project 2025 author and former Trump top official, Ken Cuccinelli, to testify in favor of the ACE Act (H.R. 4563). In addition, Republicans invited another leading advocate for Project 2025, Stephen Miller, to speak at the press conference announcing the SAVE Act.

Not only aren’t House Republicans trying to distance themselves from the minds behind Project 2025, they’re actually bragging out loud about these same brains being behind their legislative priorities. In a new September 2024 interview, SAVE Act House sponsor Rep. Chip Roy outlined how he “drafted that bill in the spring alongside our good friends Stephen Miller, our good friends Hans Von Spakovsky, Cleta Mitchell” – all figures involved in Project 2025.
