Zachary Christensen | Senior Policy Analyst, Reason Foundation


Zachary Christensen is a managing director of the Pension Integrity Project and a senior policy analyst at Reason Foundation.

Christensen and Reason’s Pension Integrity Project aim to promote solvent, sustainable retirement systems that provide retirement security for government workers while reducing taxpayer and pension system exposure to financial risk and reducing long-term costs for employers/taxpayers and employees. The project team provides education, reform policy options, and actuarial analysis for policymakers and stakeholders to help them design reform proposals that are practical and viable. The Pension Integrity Project has provided technical assistance to several successful pension reform efforts in recent years, including in Michigan, Colorado, Arizona, South Carolina and other states tackling persistent pension solvency challenges.

Christensen holds an M.S. in Public Policy from Pepperdine University and a B.S. in Political Science from Brigham Young University.
