I am writing to share AEI’s 2025 Annual Report.
At the start of 2025, we identified six key priorities where we had the most opportunity to drive positive change for our country. This annual report serves as a report card—highlighting significant activity from our scholars, showing where we’ve had success, and being honest about where we need to do better. In these pages, you’ll find that in education, national defense, the economy, and so many other issues, AEI scholarship helped policymakers address the most serious challenges facing the United States in 2025.
Please read the full introductory letter from AEI Chairman Daniel A. D’Aniello and myself, reflecting on the year. And read our summary assessment of the year below.
You can stay engaged with our work by checking out our website at aei.org; subscribing to our flagship newsletters, AEI Today and AEI This Week; or visiting our events page.
