A Unique Group of Experts You Can Trust: Meet The Team
Our expertise is what sets us apart and makes us an authority in the realm of national security issues that you can trust.
19FortyFive’s editorial team comprises a talented and authoritative mix of foreign policy and national security experts, former policymakers, defense experts, seasoned journalists, economists, business experts, and much more.
And most important of all: we welcome a broad mix of thinkers to our mix. We favor no idea, no political ideology. Conservatives, progressives, and everything in-between are most welcomed on our digital pages.
