State Policy Network is pleased to announce the AZ Liberty Network and New Jersey Policy Institute have joined SPN as affiliate members.  

As members of SPN, these organizations now have access to SPN’s training, coaching, and strategic planning services that will help them sharpen their impact in the communities they serve.  

AZ Liberty Network and the New Jersey Policy Institute now join a Network of more than 60 state-based organizations working to improve American lives and livelihoods through public policy.  

The AZ Liberty Network was founded in 2023 and works to increase public knowledge and civic participation so that Arizona citizens can effectively engage in political, social, cultural and economic issues affecting the Grand Canyon State.  

Darla Gonzalez, AZ Liberty Network’s Executive Director, said:  

“We are deeply honored to join State Policy Network as an affiliate member and stand alongside a community committed to advancing freedom through state-based leadership. At AZ Liberty Network, we firmly believe in SPN’s guiding principle: state solutions, national impact. 

This partnership connects us to a remarkable network of leaders, policy innovators, and institutions working to build a durable infrastructure for freedom—one that empowers states, defends free enterprise, and limits government overreach. Through this collaboration, we look forward to sharing ideas, exchanging best practices, and strengthening the foundation of freedom in Arizona and beyond.” 

On the other side of the country, the New Jersey Policy Institute is also advancing policy reforms that will help Americans thrive. The Institute is working to improve education for children, help entrepreneurs and businesses thrive, and create affordable energy.  

New Jersey Policy Institute’s Executive Director Wells Winegar added: 

”We are thrilled to join the State Policy Network and look forward to contributing to this vibrant community of changemakers. At NJPI, we are committed to advancing bold, research-driven solutions and through SPN, we are excited to grow our impact, collaborate with like-minded organizations, and help shape a freer, more accountable future for New Jersey and beyond.” 

Welcome to the Network!  

SPN is proud to support these affiliates as they advance freedom and opportunity in their states and communities.
