Wake Up, Ye Mighty Men | Nick Solheim | New Saint Andrews College

Nick Solheim, CEO of American Moment, delivers a disputatio talk at New Saint Andrews College, challenging students to think seriously about power, patronage, and the future of American self-government.

Speaking candidly about Washington, D.C., institutional capture, and the failures of both political parties, Solheim argues that winning elections is not enough. Governing requires personnel, formation, and the disciplined use of power. He argues that conservatives must build durable institutions rather than retreat from public life, and that “personnel is policy,” grounding his case in American history, civil service reforms, and the experience of the Trump administrations.

Nick Solheim has distinguished himself through courage, conviction, and principled leadership within America’s political landscape, contributing meaningfully to the formation of the next generation of public servants.
