Tim Head

Executive Director, Faith and Freedom Coalition
Vice Chair, Board of Directors; Task Force on Long Sentences

Timothy Head is the Executive Director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition. Tim has played a key role in creating several legislative bills passed in recent years — most notably, the landmark federal prison reform bill commonly referred to as the First Step Act, as well as the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA). Many call the First Step Act the most meaningful reform of the federal criminal justice system in over 30 years. Tim also serves on the Board of Directors for the Council on Criminal Justice.

Tim has an extensive public presence, with over 100 media publications for outlets such as Fox News, National Review, Christian Post, Washington Examiner, The Hill, The Jerusalem Post and many more. He has been quoted by AP News, USA Today, The New Yorker, Washington Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and others. Head also has made numerous TV and radio appearances on MSNBC, NPR, CBN, One America News Network, Newsmax, and more.

Prior to joining Faith & Freedom, Tim worked in public policy as the district director for a member of the Texas congressional delegation. He also has served as chief of staff and as policy advisor to members of the Texas Legislature and worked on the Republican Party of Texas’ 2010 Victory Texas effort. Before working in public policy, Tim served as a missionary in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and worked on staff at Antioch Community Church in Waco, Texas. Tim graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s of Social Work and received his Juris Doctor from Baylor Law School. In 2021, Tim was the first private citizen to be awarded Baylor University’s Pro Texana Medal of Service, a prestigious award recognizing one graduate each year whose contributions have furthered Baylor’s mission to significantly impact the public or nonprofit sector.
