About me
Erick Erickson is a nationally syndicated radio host, political commentator, and founder of the influential conservative blog RedState. Known for his sharp analysis and willingness to challenge his own side, Erickson has built a reputation as a principled voice unafraid to dissent from party orthodoxy.
A longtime advocate of limited government, federalism, and constitutional conservatism, Erickson brings both grassroots credibility and insider understanding to debates about the direction of the American right. Whether on air, in print, or on stage, he blends conviction with candor.
At FreedomFest, Erickson explores what it means to stand for principle in an era of populism, polarization, and shifting political coalitions.
