Sam Kazman

Sam Kazman is general counsel of the Competitive Enterprise Institute and heads CEI’s Death by Regulation project. This project focuses on raising public awareness of the often hidden costs of government overregulation—the lives lost, for example, when the Food and Drug Administration delays new medical drugs and devices, or the human toll of downsizing cars to comply with energy-conservation mandates. Kazman’s writings have been featured in such publications as The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Regulation. He has testified at a number of congressional hearings and has appeared on such shows as “Crossfire,” “Court TV,” “Good Morning America,” and “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.” He was a script consultant on “Science Under Siege,” CEI’s documentary on politicized science, and he has created a number of CEI radio and television ads.
