FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Raleigh – The Civitas Institute Board of Directors is pleased to announce the selection of Donald Bryson as President to succeed current president Francis X. De Luca. Prior to joining Civitas, Bryson served as the North Carolina State Director of Americans for Prosperity (AFP).
Bryson will start on January 16, 2018, and will assume full responsibility after a transition period with De Luca, who said, “Donald has a great combination of policy, grassroots, and leadership experience which will prove valuable as he leads Civitas into the future. I look forward to seeing all the great things Civitas will do under his leadership.”
Bryson started with AFP in 2011 as a field coordinator, in charge of grassroots activities in the Raleigh-Durham area. In 2014 he was promoted to State Director where he worked to expand AFP as the state’s premiere grassroots organization and to promote a pro-growth economic climate in North Carolina. Bryson led the AFP chapter during several successful campaigns to expand conservative policies in the state, including three major state income tax cuts and the expansion of the Opportunity Scholarship program.
Before joining AFP, Bryson was Communications and Policy Specialist with Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina.
Bryson said, “I am honored to have this opportunity to lead Civitas. Civitas fills a unique role in North Carolina’s public policy sphere by bridging the gap between conservative grassroots issue education and public policy analysis. I look forward to this next chapter in my life, and look to continue the past successes of Civitas.”
Bryson’s opinion-editorials on several policy issues have been in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, National Review, Charlotte Observer, and Investor’s Business Daily.
Bryson lives in Wake County with his wife and two young daughters.

George Zeller says
He has “significant experience in K-12 education reform”
He was a substitute teacher….at least he has some experience!
Bring him on!
Larry says
Does that mean you will whine less,George?Let us hope so.
Scott says
Another AFP pimp for Economic Neo-Liberalism.
Larry says
Scott,as much as you talk about pimps you must have a lot of dealings with them.
Scott says
2 Comments by Larry on this article. Neither responds to the article in any way, manner, or form. Both attack free speech of others.
Easy to see who the Fascist Goose-Stepper is.
Larry says
One comment by the tiny man and not one word about the article.We already knew who the Marxist was.
Scott says
I commented Larry.

Another AFP pimp for Economic Neo-Liberalism.
AFP = pimp for Economic Neo-Liberalism, while condemning the true tenets of Liberalism (Freedom, Equality, Liberty).
I’m not a Marxist Larry, but I understand Marx so I understand Economics. You understand nothing except Larry and Larry’s partisan idiot politics. Lover of self is what you are.
Larry says
I guess I hit another nerve with your name calling,Pimp boy.Time to get back in the closet.Bahahaha.
Scott says
No, all you did was prove once more that your job is dehumanization of anyone who exposes the corruption of the Corporate State. It is the playbook of the RNC and DNC, the NCDP and the NCGOP. It is Racist, Economically Exploitive, and Militarist.
Larry says
Scott,what is your plan? Just do away with corporations?Corporations are most of the companies in this country.Most are small family companies.Your posts are showing your ignorance of the business world.Your statement on racism is not worth a comment because it’s the playbook of the DNC.They have no economic plan so they just yell racism at everybody that thinks we should not keep on bringing people into this state and country that have zero skills and will have to be taken care of by the taxpayers their whole lives.The countries that did what you propose are Cuba,Venezuela,Russia,North Korea,and several others.Rather than me having to live like the people in those countries,why not just go there where you would be happy and not have to spend your time trashing me,Civitas,and Capitalism.
Scott says
Anyone who protects Monuments that glorify those who fought for White Supremacy (read the Secession Letters of each State) is Racist. North Carolina has Racists in the NGGOP and NCDP.
Larry is a proud Racist. NC Civitas proud Racists. Rewriting history after Reconstruction is not history. It is rewriting history to support Racism.
Larry says
You are a joke.Everything is racist to you Communists.Anything to deflect from your useless arguments that I show articles to prove you are wrong,which is very easy to do.If you don’t call someone a pimp or ignorant,it’s racist.You are exactly like those jokes in the MSM and their antics with Trumps doctor.Those Gomers looked like 8 year olds and reminded me of your racist crap.
Jack says
Ronald Reagan defeated Communism 30 years ago.
Larry says
Jack,tell that to the Gimmedat Party.They are the American Communist Party.They are threatening to cut off funding to the military unless we give amnesty to the so called dreamers.
Jack says
I guess you have too little oxygen getting to your brain that you can’t understand ALL you do is name-call. Calling other Americans who disagree with your opinions communists and those other unknown words is the height of slander and name calling.
Funding for the Military is always approved by both parties. Hillary voted for the Iraq War. Obama bombed Libya back to the stone age. Only ONE patriot Senator voted against the Patriot Act, only one patriot member of congress vote against the AUMF in 2001. Just this week, both parties fell over each other to support NSA Surveillance and secret FISA courts.
You have some severe issues with facts and truth. Were you tortured or brain washed in battle? Do you have issues related to schizophrenia? Or do you just hate everything “not Larry?”
Larry says
I think Jack is Scott.I guess you overlooked the fact that our military is at the lowest point since before WW2.You are the one calling me names.I think you knew you were going to get kicked off for your name calling so you came back as Jack.Crawl back in your closet.Being called names by you is hilarious.
