Conservatives working in complex cyber issues for national security

Brandon Pugh is the director and a resident senior fellow for the R Street Institute’s Cybersecurity and Emerging Threats team. Brandon is one of the up-and-coming conservatives working on complex cyber issues for national security. R Street is one of the good think tanks. The R Street Institute (RSI) is a leading think tank focused on solving complex public policy challenges through free markets and limited, effective government. RSI consistently offers pragmatic, real solutions that foster American innovation, bolster competition, and safeguard individual liberty.

Outside of RSI, Brandon serves in the U.S. Army Reserve as a national security law professor at The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School, having previously served as a paratrooper and international law officer. Brandon is also a nonresident fellow with the Army Cyber Institute.

Prior to joining R Street, Brandon was legislative counsel for the New Jersey General Assembly Minority Office, where he handled nearly all policy and legislation on cybersecurity, emerging technology, and privacy. He also provided legal and policy advice to the 28-member caucus on almost every committee area, from judiciary to commerce.
