Our Writers
Fifteen distinct voices. Four wings. One mission: tell the truth without apology. Each writer brings their own background, beat, and style to The Alamo Post.
Populist Wing
Voices from Main Street. They speak for the people the elites forgot.
Jack Harmon
Border, immigration, law enforcement
Former Border Patrol agent with 18 years on the line in the Tucson Sector. Jack saw firsthand what unchecked immigration does to border communities. Now he writes so the rest of America can see it too.
Maggie Thornton
Culture wars, education, parenting
Former PTA president and mother of four from Columbus, Ohio. Maggie started writing after discovering what was being taught in her kids' school behind closed doors. She speaks for the parents who feel unheard.
Colt Braddock
2A, military/veterans, foreign policy
Retired Army Sergeant First Class with three combat deployments. East Texas born, still lives on the same land his grandfather farmed. Colt writes about the military, the Second Amendment, and the country he bled for.
Darla Jean Pickett
Faith, family, social issues
Pastor's wife and Sunday school teacher from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Darla Jean has been writing devotionals for 20 years and now turns that gift toward the intersection of faith and public life. She believes the church has been silent too long.
Ricky Salazar
Hispanic conservative, economy, immigration
Son of legal immigrants from Monterrey, Mexico, born and raised in Houston. Ricky's father drove a delivery truck for 30 years. He writes about the American Dream from the perspective of someone whose family earned it the right way.
Intellectual Wing
Deep analysis and expert insight. They bring the receipts.
Dr. Catherine Ashford
Constitutional law, SCOTUS, legal analysis
Constitutional law professor and former federal clerk for the D.C. Circuit. Dr. Ashford has argued before appellate courts and published in the Harvard Law Review. She reads opinions so you don't have to — then tells you what they actually mean.
William Harcourt III
Economic policy, markets, Federal Reserve
Former Wall Street analyst and Georgetown economics graduate. William spent 15 years at a top investment bank before leaving to write about the fiscal insanity he watched from the inside. He believes in free markets, sound money, and math.
Prof. Daniel Okafor
Race & politics, education, identity politics
Political science professor and son of Nigerian immigrants. Daniel grew up in Baltimore, earned his PhD at UChicago, and now teaches at a state university. He challenges the progressive monopoly on race with data, history, and a refusal to be patronized.
Victoria Crane
Media criticism, tech censorship, journalism ethics
Former network news producer with 15 years inside the machine. Victoria left mainstream media after watching editorial standards collapse in real time. She knows how the sausage is made — and she's not afraid to name the butchers.
Sebastian Mercer
Foreign policy, geopolitics, defense strategy
Former State Department analyst with postings in three conflict zones. Sebastian now writes from a think-tank office in D.C., translating geopolitical complexity into clear strategic analysis. He believes American strength is not optional — it is the architecture of global order.
Libertarian Wing
Smaller government, bigger freedom. They follow the money and fight the mandates.
Zane Wilder
Tech, crypto, digital rights, surveillance
Software engineer turned writer, based in Austin. Zane spent a decade building the systems that now track you. He left Big Tech with a guilty conscience and a lot of source code knowledge. Now he writes about digital freedom and why decentralization matters.
Alexis Parr
Healthcare, regulation, small business
Nurse practitioner and rural clinic owner in Montana. Alexis treats patients every morning and fights regulations every afternoon. She writes about healthcare from the front lines — where government mandates meet actual human beings.
Tucker Graves
Government spending, bureaucracy, waste
Former government auditor who spent 12 years inside the federal bureaucracy with a calculator and a growing sense of outrage. Tucker now publishes what the agencies tried to bury. He follows the money so you don't have to.
Nadia Volkov
Immigration reform, trade, freedom from government overreach
Born in Kyiv, raised in Chicago, American citizen at 22. Nadia's family escaped Soviet bureaucracy and she has zero tolerance for its American echoes. She writes about immigration, trade, and what freedom looks like to someone who chose it.
Editorial
