The American Moment team is expanding. We're excited to announce two new additions to our Board of Advisors: Alexa Walker, Director of Coalitions at The Heritage Foundation, and Theo Wold, the former Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy under President Donald Trump.
Alexa Walker is the Director of Coalitions at The Heritage Foundation. She leads the Foundation’s coalition and engagement efforts to advance policy priorities, while growing and strengthening the conservative movement on both the federal and state level.
Prior to joining Heritage, Walker was the Director of Coalitions and Member Services for the Republican Study Committee (RSC), the oldest caucus of conservatives in the U.S. Congress, where she served under three chairmen including Congressman Jim Banks (R-IN), Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA), and Congressman Mark Walker (R-NC). There, she led the caucus’ strategic outreach and managed communication to and coordination with coalition allies. Additionally, she worked closely with the professional policy staff on the introduction of legislative proposals and policy reports across a broad portfolio of domestic and foreign policy priorities. She also served as a senior advisor and internal liaison to RSC Members and their respective staff. Prior to her role at RSC, Walker served on the staffs of and advised leading conservative members of the U.S. House of Representatives including Congressman Mark Walker (R-NC), Congressman Dave Brat (R-VA), and Congressman Raul Labrador (R-ID).
Walker was born and raised in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. She is an active member of her local community in Washington, DC, serving in children’s ministry at her church and as an officer in a local chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution. She was a Hillsdale College James Madison Fellow and holds a Bachelor of Arts from Boise State University in Boise, Idaho.
Theodore Wold is the former Solicitor General of Idaho. Previously, Wold served as the Acting-Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Policy at the Department of Justice and Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy under President Donald Trump. Prior to his three-and-a-half years of service in the Trump White House, Wold previously served as Deputy Chief Counsel to United States Senator Mike Lee on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Wold holds a B.A. from Georgetown University, where he studied government and English; an M. Litt. from the University of St. Andrews, where he studied English literature; and a J.D. from the University of Notre Dame. Wold clerked at the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for Judge Janice Rogers Brown and the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico for Judge José Antonio Fusté.
