On February 9, 2026, the National Center for Public Policy Research announced the Steve Milloy, E&E Legal Senior Policy Fellow and Junkscience.com Founder, is now the Executive Director of the organization’s Freedom Enterprise Project (FEP). As the FEP press release noted:
In this role, Milloy will continue the expansion of the National Center’s role as the “tip of the spear” in efforts to combat DEI, ESG and other corporate deviations from fiscal responsibility, and to defend both shareholder interests and the virtue of businesses remaining politically neutral.
Milloy brings decades of experience at the intersection of markets, public policy and corporate governance. As one of the earliest advocates of shareholder engagement on behalf of center-right investors and causes, he helped lay the groundwork and was the driving inspiration for what would later become the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project, launched in 2007. He joined the National Center as an adjunct fellow in 2018 and has remained an active voice on environmental, energy and corporate accountability issues.
