Kimberly A. Strassel Career
Strassel completed her high school education in 1990 at Banks High School in nearby Banks. Later, in 1994, she graduated with a B.A. from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Her academic journey at Princeton included the completion of a senior thesis titled “The Democratization of the Russian Secret Security and Intelligence Apparatus,” which was supervised by Aaron Friedberg. Following her graduation, she promptly secured a position at The Wall Street Journal. She began her career at The Wall Street Journal as a news assistant for the European edition in Brussels from 1994 to 1996. She then served as a staff writer covering technology for The Wall Street Journal Europe in London from 1996 to 1999.
In 1999, she relocated to New York, initially covering real estate before transitioning to the editorial page as an assistant features editor. Her role at The Wall Street Journal evolved over the years, and by 2005, she had become a senior editorial writer and a member of the editorial board. In 2007, she initiated the long-running “Potomac Watch” column for The Wall Street Journal. Additionally, she has been involved in various editorial discussions, including criticizing Fusion GPS in an October 2017 editorial for commissioning the Trump–Russia dossier. She also made a suggestion regarding the use of stun grenades by teachers in the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. President Donald Trump acknowledged Strassel’s commentary multiple times, tweeting about her or retweeting her content more than 20 times by October 2019.
He even called for a Pulitzer Prize for her. In the lead-up to the November 2020 election, she promoted claims about Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in an opinion column in The Wall Street Journal. However, these claims were contradicted by the newspaper’s own news division shortly afterward. After Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, she asserted that the election contained voting irregularities. In November 2020, she made false claims about the election, incorrectly stating that Wisconsin’s turnout percentage for the election was “not feasible.” In 2014, she received the prestigious $250,000 Bradley Prize from the conservative Bradley Foundation in recognition of her contributions.
Notably, in February 2016, she served as one of the panelists for a Republican presidential primary debate held in South Carolina, showcasing her involvement in political discussions at a national level. Strassel, an accomplished author, has penned four notable books. In “Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws” (Rowman & Littlefield, 2005), co-authored with Celeste Colgan and John C. Goodman, she argues that government regulations impede market-driven initiatives, hindering women’s access to economic opportunities. In her work “The Intimidation Game: How the Left Is Silencing Free Speech” (Twelve, 2016), she critiques campaign finance laws, asserting that the left wing exploits them to restrict rights to free speech and association.
Additionally, she delves into the dynamics of contemporary politics in “Resistance (At All Costs): How Trump Haters are Breaking America” (Twelve, 2019). In her most recent release, “The Biden Malaise: How America Bounces Back from Joe Biden’s Dismal Repeat of the Jimmy Carter Years” (Twelve, 2023), she argues that Joe Biden, mirroring the era of Jimmy Carter, has steered the nation into a state of weakness, inflation, and political unrest.
