Lexington Institute
The Lexington Institute is a small public-policy think tank headquartered in Arlington, Virginia that focuses on national security, education reform, energy policy and logistics. It is organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which means it is a tax-exempt, non-profit foundation that may not lobby.〔26 U.S. Code Section 501.〕 The institute does not receive money from the federal government. Its main sources of funding are corporations, foundations, and individuals.
==History and philosophy==
The Lexington Institute was founded in 1998 by former Congressman James Courter (R-NJ), former congressional aide Merrick Carey, former Georgetown University professor Loren Thompson, and policy analyst Donald Soifer. As of September 2015 they are respectively the chairman, chief executive officer, chief operating officer and executive vice president of the institute.
The institute's political philosophy, as reflected in its publications, is center-right, emphasizing a strong national defense, education reform, and market-driven solutions to energy and logistic needs. Although the organization's mission statement does not describe it as "conservative" or "libertarian," it tends to oppose big government, tax increases and federal intervention in the daily lives of citizens.
The institute's employees – there are fewer than ten, supplemented by outside experts and interns – are frequently quoted in national media. One survey of think tank visibility rated the institute as number-two in the nation relative to its budget size. Loren Thompson is a longstanding contributor to (Forbes.com, ) and other staffers such as Daniel Goure and Don Soifer are cited regularly in national media.
