The Supreme Court of the United States is hearing oral arguments on whether the Constitution requires the redefinition of marriage.

Walker serves the ERLC as Director of Policy Studies. His responsibilities include policy and cultural analysis, policy communication, content production and coalitions. Andrew came to the ERLC from The Heritage Foundation in August 2013.
