Lighthizer Joins Pence-Led Advocacy Group

Former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is listed as one of many advisers to the Advancing American Freedom issue advocacy group. The group is led by former Vice President Mike Pence. The group is arguing on behalf of pro-life policies, including the right of medical workers to avoid abortion-related care; taxpayer subsidies for private and religious schools through locally run programs or tax-advantaged savings plans; finishing the border wall; arguing against returning to the Iran nuclear deal; and pushing for other trade deals like USMCA.
