About KnowTheCEO

 

KnowTheCEO provides research-based information on the right-wing political activity of companies, business executives and other leaders. We publish detailed reports on the people, products and brands that are linked to extremist politicians and we help spotlight leaders who support the politics of hate and division.

Founded by a former senior staffer for a U.S. Senator and two members of the U.S. House of Representatives, we have unique insight into the money and relationships that are helping advance the interests of bigoted, hateful and divisive politicians.

KnowTheCEO launched in May of 2021 and our work has already been covered by CNBC, the San Francisco Chronicle and numerous other media outlets. And it has led to demonstrable change - thanks to our work:

  • A leading U.S. ice cream maker cut ties with its gun industry law firm.

  • A top sponsor pulled out of an iconic road race that is run by a contributor to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and other extremists.

  • Several leading companies added their names to the 2022 CEOs for Gun Safety letter.

KnowTheCEO receives no outside funding and is run on a volunteer basis by those dedicated to fighting right-wing extremism in American politics. You can support our work by following us on Twitter, signing up for our news alerts, and sharing our reports through your own social media accounts.
