The Policy Circle is a member of the State Policy Network (SPN), a group Sourcewatch describes as a “web of state pressure groups that drive a right-wing agenda in statehouses nationwide.”3“The Policy Circle,” Sourcewatch. Accessed July 22, 2019.

William Fulbright Board, while her husband served the administration as Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and director of the National Economic Council.4“Our Team,” E&A Companies.
