[edit] Other involvement

O'Keefe also serves on the Board of Directors of the Club for Growth and The Institute for Humane Studies.

In early 2008, O'Keefe argued that a commission recently created in Wisconsin to monitor judicial elections was itself partisan, and therefore unreliable as a judicial watchdog group.^[2]

[edit] Publications

O'Keefe wrote a book, Who Rules America: The People versus the Political Class, which focuses on the country’s founding principles to make the case for term limits, and won praise from Milton Friedman. With Aaron Steelman, he co-authored "The End of Representation: How Congress Stifles Electoral Competition".^[3]
