Biography
Jeff Flake
Senator. Ambassador. Author. A voice that challenges without polarizing.
18 Years in Congress
Eighteen years representing Arizona in Washington. Twelve years in the House, six in the Senate. He built a reputation for principle over politics.
The Island
Four times he has been dropped on a remote desert island with no food, no water, and little more than his wits. Once, he survived a week stranded with a U.S. senator from across the aisle. It was a living metaphor for what he believes: that Republicans and Democrats can still figure out how to work together.
Ambassador to Türkiye
After the Senate, he was tapped to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Türkiye. While Ambassador, he played such a pivotal role in securing Sweden's accession to NATO that in 2025 the Swedish government knighted him with the Royal Order of the Polar Star.
Now
Today he leads as founding Director of the Institute of Politics at Arizona State University and Chairman of the Board of World Trade Center Utah. He is also a New York Times bestselling author and a visiting fellow at Brigham Young University.
