Hey there,
We know things have been a little quiet on our end, but please forgive us, as we’ve undergone an internal transition. More on that below.
A bit of history
When Kassy Dillon founded Lone Conservative six years ago, it was intended to be a space where right-of-center students could voice their opinion, and instill the values of truth, liberty, and integrity into American political discourse.
Since then, Lone Conservative has given voice to hundreds of student contributors and published thousands of articles. Many of those contributors, thanks to Lone Conservative, have gone on to obtain prominent positions in national media organizations.
The new leadership team looks forward to picking up the mantle and building Lone Conservative’s success. We hope to take Lone Conservative to new heights while maintaining its stellar reputation as America’s largest conservative student commentary publication.
Introducing the new leaders of our team
Dace Potas, President
Dace has been a part of Lone Conservative since 2020, previously serving as both an editor and columnist. He is a senior at DePaul University and is pursuing a degree in political science.
Ben Snead, Editor-in-Chief
Ben was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. He became a Lone Conservative contributor in 2020 and has been on the editing team for the past year. He is currently a junior pursuing a political science degree at the University of Oregon’s Clark Honors College.
