Brittany E. Hunter is a writer at large for Pacific Legal Foundation, where she specializes in telling the stories of the people who have sacrificed a great deal of their lives to fight for individual liberty in the face of government overreach.
Brittany believes that individual rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness are sacred to our country’s foundation, and that each person should be protected against any act of government intrusion on those rights.
Brittany has had a passion for the Constitution since she took her first constitutional history course during her undergrad studies. John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government particularly resonated with her and she admired the role it played in the founding of America. Inspired by the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and Framers, she has dedicated her career to showing others the importance of protecting individual freedom and explaining why this is so vital to creating a free society. She recognized that the best way to achieve this goal was through her writing.
Before joining the PLF team, Brittany was an op-ed writer for Stand Together communications, where she advocated for policies that help remove barriers standing in the way of people reaching their full potential and leading fulfilling and prosperous lives. She was also senior writer at the Foundation for Economic Education. One of her most notable contributions to FEE was her series of essays breaking down each chapter of F. A. Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom in a manner that was digestible by all audiences, especially those unfamiliar with free market economics.
Having spent most of her life in Utah, moving to Washington, D.C. in 2013 was a big leap for her. But it was one of the most rewarding risks she has ever taken and she is thankful every day that she had the courage to leave her hometown and pursue her dream of becoming a writer.
