Justin Pulliam -  Former Guest Speaker at the Leadership Institute

Justin Pulliam graduated Cum Laude from Texas A&M University in December 2011 with a B.S. in Animal Science and a minor in Economics.  He received University Honors and Foundation Honors distinctions.  While at Texas A&M, Justin dedicated his energy to the conservative movement, recruiting conservative students, organizing conservative activism and events, and training the next generating of conservative leaders.  

Pulliam chaired the Texas Aggie Conservatives and the Texas A&M chapter of Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow.  He was elected twice to the Texas A&M Student Senate.  He was the leading bill author in the Student Senate, introducing Student Senate legislation to advance conservative causes.  He received the 2010-2011 “Senator of the Year Award.”  Pulliam was also a member of the Texas A&M College Republicans, Students for Concealed Carry, and Pro-Life Aggies.  

For his activism accomplishments and work advancing the conservative movement, Pulliam won the 2012 Weyrich Award Dinner “Youth Leader of the Year” award.  Pulliam was a two-time recipient of the Phillips Foundation Ronald Reagan College Leaders Scholarship.

Justin led many activism initiatives in college, including a petition against the “Health Care Draft” (Obamacare); opposition to the DREAM Act and tuition benefits for illegal immigrants; and challenging Texas A&M’s funding policies that direct tax dollars to GLBT activism but not to conservative organizations.  He was a delegate to the United Nation’s 2009 Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark.  His media appearances include live interviews on Fox & Friends and MSNBC and a profile in the New York Times (the NYT accurately gave Pulliam the title “the most dangerous young man on campus”).  Justin resides in Sherman, Texas – near Dallas – where he enjoys raising Angus cattle, hunting, and continuing the fight to defeat liberal bias in academia.  His future pursuits include medical school and forming a conservative alumni association for Texas A&M graduates.
