About
The American Action Network is a major conservative 501(c)(4) organization founded in 2010 by Fred Malek and former U.S. Senator Norm Coleman. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., it operates as a center-right 'action tank' focused on policy advocacy and issue-based campaigns, with a sister organization, the American Action Forum. It engages in polling and advocacy on fiscal issues, such as support for Republican positions on the debt ceiling, and gave the RJC $1.25 million in 2023.
