Carrie L. Lukas (born 1973)[1] is president of the conservative leaning non-profit Independent Women's Forum (IWF).
Prior to joining IWF, Lukas worked in the U.S. House of Representatives for U.S. House of Representative Christopher Cox as senior domestic policy analyst for the House Republican Policy Committee and a senior staff member of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee.
Education
Lukas earned her B.A. from Princeton University and her master's degree in public policy from Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University.[2]
Career
She worked at the Cato Institute as a social security analyst, where she authored several studies on social security and education policies. Her op-ed pieces have been published in, among other publications, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, The New York Times, and USA Today. She is author of the books The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism and Liberty is No War on Women.
Political positions
Lukas believes that minimum wage laws adversely affect the young and those with low skill levels.[3] She has argued that there are two sexes, and that individuals are born either as men or women.[4] And she has argued against board quotas, saying that are a distraction to workplace equality and may undo women’s historic gains by suggesting that we cannot succeed on our own.[5]
