About this Event

Join us on April 23rd when we welcome Cristen Wohlgemuth, President and CEO of Mountain States Legal Foundation.

Cristen earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Texas A&M and her Juris Doctor from St. Mary’s University School of Law. After graduating from Texas A&M, she taught Advanced Placement U.S. Government to high school seniors before moving into state government. While serving as Governor Rick Perry’s budget and policy advisor, Cristen focused on natural resource issues. She also led the staff policy team for the Texas House Republican Caucus. During her time in the Texas house, she pursued her law degree and then moved to California where she served as the Executive Director of the Claremont Institute for Constitutional Jurisprudence, specializing in constitutional law.

She joined Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF) in 2017, driven by its mission areas that include natural resources, equal protection and constitutional rights advocacy. MSLF is a non-profit law firm founded in 1976, dedicated to restoring those rights enshrined in our Constitution. It fights to protect property rights, individual liberties and economic freedom. The organization has supported numerous cases against the EPA for government overreach. Their litigation has also involved the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause, particularly as it regards government affirmative action programs. MSLF’s Center to Keep and Bear Arms is the United States’ first in-house litigation center exclusively concerned with Second Amendment rights. Their Legal Fellowship Program trains future lawyers to protect constitutional rights through mentorship and experience working with MSLF’s litigation areas.

Join us for a fascinating evening focused on freedom Thursday, April 23, 2026, at the Petroleum Museum! Thank you to the Abell-Hanger Foundation for sponsoring this great event.
