Patrick M. Brenner is an American public intellectual, policy analyst, and nonprofit executive.[1][2][3] He is the founder, president, and chief executive officer of the Southwest Public Policy Institute (SPPI),[4] a nonprofit organization dedicated to public policy research.[5] Brenner’s work centers on economic policy,[6] consumer finance,[7][8][9] government transparency,[10] and free-market public policy advocacy.

Policy Positions and Public Commentary

Brenner and SPPI have emphasized a data-driven approach to public policy, advocating limited government intervention, greater financial inclusion, and more government transparency.[3][10]

The institute has published policy analyses on consumer lending[2], mortgage finance, and data privacy, and has engaged in litigation to enforce public-records laws in New Mexico[10].

His work and that of SPPI have been cited in regional and national media, including The Wall Street Journal[1][11][12], The Washington Post[13][14][15], Fox News[16], American Banker[17], The Hill[18], and others, through commentary and op-eds.

X-linked hypo-hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) advocacy

Brenner was born with the rare genetic condition X-linked hypo-hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED). He sought to help and encourage others with XLHED through the National Foundation of Ectodermal Dysplasias.[19] In 2021, he partnered with University of Colorado Anschutz's School of Dental Medicine on a specialized corrective procedure and highlighted the work publicly for others with the condition.[20]
