Dan Patrick to lead Trump’s Religious Liberty Comission

Texas’ Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has been named chair of a newly formed national commission on religious liberty, launched last Thursday by former President Donald Trump during a National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House.

The commission, according to an executive order signed by Trump, will focus on identifying threats to religious freedom and proposing strategies to strengthen and protect religious expression across the United States.

Members are expected to produce a detailed report addressing current challenges, constitutional protections and proposals for safeguarding religious pluralism in the years ahead.
