[tps_title]Caleb Crosby, President, Alabama Policy Institute[/tps_title]
After serving at the Alabama Policy Institute (API) for several years as Director of Development, then Vice President, Crosby rose to be President of the influential conservative think tank when its longtime leader Gary Palmer was elected to Congress in 2014.
Most rank and file Alabama legislators do not employ policy staffers. That has made API an indispensable resource for conservative lawmakers trying to get a handle on complex issues.
A former George W. Bush staffer and a pitcher for the University of South Alabama who was drafted by the Texas Rangers, the 6’5 Crosby cut his teeth providing strategic financial management, compliance and operations guidance to campaigns, political committees, non-profit and for-profit organizations across the country.
He began his career with the Bush-Cheney 2004 re-election campaign. He then served in the George W. Bush administration, first at the EPA and then at the White House traveling with President Bush as a financial advisor. Following his time with President Bush, he served at the Department of Treasury under Secretary Hank Paulson. In 2008, Crosby was named CFO at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) before joining API in 2010.
