Fracking billionaire aims to rewrite Constitution to advance far-right agenda
Tim Dunn, a Texas pastor and fracking billionaire, is funding efforts to rewrite the U.S. Constitution to promote climate denial and conservative Christian values, surpassing the goals of Project 2025.

In short:
- Tim Dunn is a top Trump donor advocating for a U.S. Constitution rewrite through the Convention of States initiative, aiming to limit federal power.

- He has donated millions to conservative causes and supports influential right-wing figures, advancing his political and religious agenda nationally.
Key quote:
“They’re spending a lot of money organizing in states and they’ve got a long-term plan. They are deadly serious.”
— Peter Montgomery, research director at People for the American Way
Why this matters:
Dunn's influence could reshape U.S. governance, weaken environmental protections and impose far-right Christian views on federal policy. His wealth and network position him as a key figure in advancing these goals, with national and global implications.
