Kyle Griesinger

Kyle Griesinger is the communications strategist for Pacific Legal Foundation’s separation of powers practice. He works to promote PLF’s ideas and work to restore and reinforce the structural protections of liberty embedded in the Constitution.

He is passionate about fostering a civic culture where all Americans are free to create the lives they want to live—with all the variety and individuality that is required for a nation of 330 million people to live happily. With a government and politics that is responsive to the people but that doesn’t dominate their lives; that doesn’t make them feel as though every election spells doom or salvation for the country.

It’s the separation of powers, he believes, that is the beating heart of self-government and the American experiment. But the separation of powers is threatened by overzealous executive agencies claiming power they don’t have and a supine Congress trying at every turn to give its power away. When that happens it stops being we the people that make the laws governing ourselves. Rather we’re ruled by nameless, faceless bureaucrats. In that way, the separation of powers is the keystone of American constitutional democracy and that if it is eroded, the whole structure will eventually collapse.

Kyle is a graduate of Liberty University, where he focused on economic liberty and policy, with a degree in government and a minor in history. Prior to joining PLF, he worked as an account executive for a boutique public relations firm and as a government relations professional with a market-oriented think tank.

He was born and raised in the great state of Texas and lived there until college. He and his wife Savannah now call Arlington, Virginia, home.

In his free time, you’ll most likely find him catching a movie or stalking the display cases at the local retro video game store. Unless it’s football season, in which case you’ll find him in Lynchburg, Virginia, cheering on the Liberty Flames.
