    Senior Fellow

    I believe that work means opportunity, choice, community engagement, and the chance to live as we were created to live. Having seen firsthand the negative impact that bad policy can have on people and their opportunity to experience work, I joined FGA to join their efforts to promote reforms that lift people up through work.

    Josh Archambault is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Government Accountability, where he focuses on health care reforms that lower costs and expand choice for more Americans.

    Prior to joining FGA, Josh served as director of the Center for Health Care Solutions and as program manager for the Middle Cities Initiative at the Pioneer Institute. Josh also served as a health policy fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Studies and Economics from Gordon College and a Master of Public Policy from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.

    Josh first experienced the value of work while mowing lawns. His passion for helping individuals live up to their full potential motivates both his work at FGA and his volunteer efforts as a Sunday school teacher, foster parent, and foster community advocate. He has testified before Congress and several state legislative committees, and his research and commentary has earned coverage from the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the New York Times, Fox News, NPR, National Review Online, and MSNBC, among other media outlets. He is also a contributor to the Apothecary, the influential Forbes.com blog.

    A fan of the New England Patriots, Josh and his family live in the City of Presidents, Quincy, Massachusetts.

    Growing up poor, in a poor state like Arkansas, I’ve seen firsthand the long-lasting effects that dependency can have. But I’ve also learned how critical the safety net is for people who truly have nowhere else to turn. Those lessons and individuals are what drive me every day, across the states, to keep fighting and pushing for real answers to make our country’s safety net sustainable and make sure every individual has a chance to achieve the American dream.

    Nic Horton is the research director at the Foundation for Government Accountability, where he leads the organization’s research team and focuses his individual research primarily on welfare reform.

    Prior to joining FGA, Nic served as editor of TheArkansasProject.com and policy analyst for the Advance Arkansas Institute. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Public Administration and a Master of Business Administration from Harding University.

    Nic first experienced the value of work while mowing lawns as a kid, which he grew into a larger business that supported him all the way through grad school. Growing up in Arkansas, Nic has seen the lasting effects dependency can have, which drives him daily to expand pathways to work, reduce dependency, and protect the safety net for the truly needy.

    Nic has provided policy analysis, legislative testimony, and policy briefings on Medicaid expansion and welfare reform in more than 20 states and D.C. His commentary and analysis have been featured in Forbes, The Hill, National Review Online, Washington Examiner, and Townhall, among other national outlets. He is also a frequent guest on talk radio across the country.

    When he is not volunteering at his local church or spending time with his son, Nic enjoys writing and gardening. A fan of the Kentucky Wildcats, Nic and his growing family live in central Arkansas.
