The Center for Progressive Reform consists of a full-time staff and more than 60 Member Scholars who volunteer their time to support and provide independent policy research, advocacy, congressional testimony, legal insight and analysis, and more.
Our Scholars represent dozens of colleges and universities in every region of the country. They live and work in big cities and small towns, on the coasts and in the heartland, and in about half the states — including blue, purple, and red ones.
One of our newest Member Scholars, Daniel Walters is Associate Professor of Law at the Texas A&M University School of Law. He writes about administrative and regulatory law, with a particular focus on the implications of democratic theory for the administrative state, public participation in administrative processes, deference doctrines, and more. His articles have appeared in many top journals, including the Yale Law Journal, the Stanford Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the Cornell Law Review, and the Georgetown Law Journal, among others. He has recently been quoted in media outlets including CNN, The Guardian, The Lever, Inside EPA, and The Regulatory Review, and he was one of the panelists for our May 2025 webinar on building a people’s regulatory agenda.
