Conservative of the Year 2023

Conservative of the Year 2023 has 37 strong contenders, among our most ever!

Top Tier

• Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who beat back an ambush sham impeachment (see Paxton impeachment) to prevail by a landslide in the Texas Senate, and then won a unanimous Texas Supreme Court decision against media-hyped late abortion (after 20 weeks). Paxton also appealed a federal ruling against the Biden regime for destruction of the border fence.
• Riley Gaines, 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer, for her courage in standing against men competing in women's sports, and thus against the transgender agenda. Her speeches, testimony before legislatures, and tweets have been strong and principled all year.
• Rep. Matt Gaetz (R–FL), for cleverly and quickly deposing the compromising, establishmentarian Kevin McCarthy from House Speaker and curtailing Ukraine funding
• Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), for becoming perhaps the most conservative Speaker of the House in history
• Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for leading against endless U.S. funding the NATO War in Ukraine, for campaigning against the pro-aborts on Ohio Issue 1 ballot initiative, and for supporting the ban on transgender operations on minors in Ohio which its weak Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed on Dec. 29.
• Sen. Rand Paul (R-IN), for opposing endless funding of the NATO War in Ukraine and for saving a fellow senator's life with the Heimlich maneuver.
• Sen. Tommy Tuberville for his righteous stand against taxpayer funded abortion in the US military
• Kyriakos Mitsotakis, prime minister of Greece, for bolding winning on an anti-immigration platform, and then bolding calling a second election to consolidate the strength of his victory.
• Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), a conservative populist who was a late entry and then stunning winner of the coveted chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee, on Jan. 9, 2023. Rep. Smith became its youngest chairman ever.
• Sen. Ron Johnson for his courageous stand against Biden's neo-fascist Ukraine policy.
• Catherine Englebrecht, a tireless voter fraud fighter
• Dinesh D'Souza, producer of 2000 Mules and Police State documentaries, and for generously supporting the J6 victims of the Deep State
• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), for her continued fearless leadership in the House
• Jeff Landry for his big victory as a conservative in Louisiana gubernatorial race

• Jason Aldean, for writing the popular song, "Try That in a Small Town," which promotes Conservative and small-town values, drawing vast ire from Leftists.
• Oliver Anthony, although not entirely conservative, for writing the popular song "Rich Men North of Richmond," which promotes hard work and criticizes the establishment and the welfare state.
