Tim Phillips was named the President of Americans for Prosperity and Americans for Prosperity Foundation in February 2006. Phillips is a veteran political strategist and one of the nation’s premier grassroots organizers with nearly two decades of experience, including presidential, gubernatorial and congressional races, as well as state legislative, local and issue-advocacy campaigns.
In 1992, Phillips managed U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte’s (6th Dist. – Va.) first Congressional campaign and later served as Rep. Goodlatte’s Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill for four years.
In 1997, Phillips helped found Century Strategies, one of the nation’s leading public affairs and public relations firms. Phillips was named a “Rising Star in Politics” in 1998 by Campaigns and Elections magazine. As a partner in Century Strategies, Phillips worked both the 2000 and 2004 Presidential campaigns.
Under Phillips’ leadership to date, AFP and AFP Foundation have expanded from seven to 21 state chapters, more than doubled membership to 200,000 citizen leaders, embarked on a nationwide campaign to end pork-barrel earmarks, and successfully engaged in over a dozen major grassroots issue battles on taxes and government regulation in states across the country.
He has appeared on CNN’s 360 with Anderson Cooper, the Fox News Channel, ABC’s World News Tonight and Nightline programs, the CBS Evening News and dozens of regional and local media outlets promoting AFP’s grassroots message of free markets and free enterprise.
Phillips and his wife Julia have been married for 22 years, and are the proud parents of four children.
