Biography of Paul M. Weyrich

Paul Weyrich was born on October 7, 1942 in Racine, Wisconsin, where he was raised and educated. While attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison he was involved in politics and became one of the most influential conservatives in America. He was a lobbyist and advocate for some of the early "New Right" foundations which preceded the Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, and others. He was President of the "Free Congress Research and Education Foundation" throughout its history; he headed up the "Coalition for America", and was the founding President of the Heritage Foundation. He was particularly concerned about welfare, adoption, abortion, and homosexual rights. During the 1970’s and 1980’s he worked to replace the Democratic Congress with a conservative Republican Congress. Weyrich was also a reporter, radio and television director, and writer. He published policy reports and journals, and he wrote editorials on a variety of conservative issues. He was also interested in railway transportation and held a variety of administrative railway positions from 1958–2002; including the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK) Board of Directors from 1987-1993. Paul Weyrich's co-worker and friend, Connaught Marshner, was a fellow conservative and lobbyist. She wrote a variety of books and articles about education, families and abortion, and she was a major influence in the growth of the Pro-family and Pro-life movements.
