AFPI Leaders Jennifer Hegseth and Christie Mullin Appointed to Military Spouse Commission

WASHINGTON, D.C.— The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) proudly congratulates Jennifer Hegseth, AFPI Senior Advisor, and Christie Mullin, AFPI Chair of Rural Policy, on their appointments as chair and member of the President’s Military Spouse Commission.

The commission recognizes a fundamental truth that strong military families are essential to a strong military. The commission will identify ways to improve the quality of life for military spouses and families, help retain talented service members, and support America’s all-volunteer force.

As a military spouse, Hegseth understands firsthand the sacrifices and challenges of military family life. Together with Mullin’s leadership and commitment to serving others, their experience will bring valuable insight to the President’s Military Spouse Commission as it works to strengthen support for military families.

“Jennifer Hegseth and Christie Mullin are incredible advocates for America’s military families, and their leadership will be a tremendous asset to this commission,” said Ashley Hayek, Executive Vice President of the America First Policy Institute and spouse of a U.S. Marine. “As a Marine wife, I know that when a service member raises their hand, the whole family serves. President Trump understands that supporting our warfighters means supporting the spouses and children who hold the home front. Jennifer and Christie know these families, understand their challenges, and will deliver real solutions to put America’s warfighters and their families first.”

AFPI applauds this commitment to America’s warfighters and their families and congratulates Jennifer and Christie on these well-deserved appointments.
