Tom is a long-time conservative political activist, organizer, and consultant. Over the course of twenty years he has at various times worked on campaigns at all levels of American politics, in most parts of the country.

He is known primarily for his pro-life work and his defense of the natural family and traditional marriage. He has also been a long-time advocate for the Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms, private property rights, fundamental tax reform, secure borders, and the maintenance of American sovereignty and security through a Reaganite Peace Through Strength foreign policy.

Tom is the primary author of the Equal Protection for Posterity Resolution, which is revolutionizing how pro-lifers look at what must be done to stop the abortion holocaust in America.

He was closely associated politically for many years with former Reagan administration official and U.N. Ambassador Dr. Alan Keyes.

In 2008, with the impending nomination by the Republican Party of John McCain, Tom Hoefling, along with many stalwart Reagan conservatives from across the country, founded America’s Party.

Tom continues to serve as the party’s chairman, and is completely committed to the long-term project of building a principled, practical alternative to the corrupt Democrat/Republican monopoly on power.

In February of this year, America’s Party, in convention, nominated Tom Hoefling to be its 2012 standard-bearer for the office of President of the United States.
