Vik Ath currently works in communications as a Press Assistant and Speechwriter in the United States Senate for Senator Steve Daines (R-MT).

 

He has an extensive background in the conservative movement working in campaigns, fundraising, and strategic communications as well as grassroots organizing and conservative activism.

 

Vik’s passion for conservatism stemmed from his family’s personal history with Communist Cambodia in the 1970s. Both of his parents were survivors of Cambodia’s infamous Killing Fields. Vik’s mother endured extreme hardships, losing both her father and two younger sisters to the brutal Communist regime.

During his college years, Vik served as the President of the UC Riverside College Republicans and he founded a local grassroots conservative organization, the Riverside Republican Assembly to promote constitutional conservatives seeking elected office at the local level.

During the 2016 election, Vik was selected to serve as a regional director for the Ted Cruz Presidential Campaign.

Young America’s Foundation (YAF) twice named Vik a member of Club 100—the Foundation’s activism rewards program recognizing the top conservative student activists in the country. Vik joined YAF’s Development Team full time as a fundraiser in the summer of 2017 and remained with YAF before moving over to the Senate.

In Vik’s spare time he enjoys hikes in the Shenandoah and he is a vigorous reader on books that cover American history. He currently resides in Alexandria with his wife Clare.
