Erickson is also Editor of RedState.com, a property of Eagle Publishing, Inc.  Under Erickson's leadership, RedState has become the preeminent right of center community online and is the most widely read right-of-center blog on Capitol Hill. 

Prior to leading RedState, Erickson practiced law for six years and managed a number of political campaigns.

Erickson also serves as a CNN Contributor, regularly appearing across the network and most nights at 6p.m. ET on John King USA.

According to Newsweek, "Erickson has grabbed his party's power brokers by their elephant-stitched suspenders." Avid readers include Herman Cain, Sean Hannity, and, from Newsweek, "Rush Limbaugh, former senator Fred Thompson and House Speaker John Boehner."  

The London Telegraph named Erickson the sixty-fifth most influential conservative in America in 2010.  He is co-author with Lew Uhler of the book RedState Uprising: How to Take Back America.

"The ability of [Erickson] to shape a message illustrates the power of the conservative network," the Washington Post reported on February 1, 2010. 

Erickson studied political science and history earning his bachelor's degree at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, also earning his juris doctorate at Mercer's Walter F. George School of Law.

Each weekday morning, Erickson writes his "Morning Briefing" email, widely considered a must read among conservative pundits and activists.  Start your morning with Erick's Morning Briefing by going to http://www.redstatemb.com and wrap up your day with him on the air weeknights at 7pm on AM750 and now 95.5 FM News/Talk WSB.
