Douglas Carswell is President and CEO of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy.

Previously a Member of the British Parliament for 12 years, Douglas co-founded Vote Leave, the official Brexit campaign. Re-elected every time he ran, Douglas achieved one of the largest swings in any election in British history when he called a special election on himself to secure the Brexit vote.

Douglas was born in Britain, raised in Uganda, but came to America by choice – alongside his wife, Clementine, daughter, Kitty, and Crumble, the dog.

As an immigrant, he is a passionate believer in American exceptionalism and is dedicated to teaching the next generation about the things that make America special.
