Benjamin Osborne

Legal Fellow

Benjamin M. Osborne serves as a Legal Fellow at the Center for Renewing America, where he advances constitutional legal strategies that support the America First policy agenda. With a background spanning law, economics, and business, Benjamin brings a deep commitment to restoring constitutional government, strengthening national sovereignty, and defending the principles of limited power and ordered liberty.

His work in the U.S. Senate—across the Judiciary, Budget, and Homeland Security Committees and the office of Senator Tim Scott—has equipped him to navigate complex legal and policy challenges with conviction and precision. He has contributed to high-profile oversight investigations, legislative research, and constitutional analysis.

Benjamin holds five academic degrees, including a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center, where he was awarded the Needham Family Endowed Opportunity Merit Scholarship. He earned a Master of Science in Economics from Georgetown University and a Master of Business Administration and graduate certificate in accountancy from The George Washington University School of Business, graduating summa cum laude and receiving the GW Business Fellows Scholarship. He also holds dual undergraduate degrees from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte—a Bachelor of Science in Economics and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, both earned summa cum laude— and a minor in history.

His legal studies include a term at Magdalen College, University of Oxford, where he focused on English Administrative and Comparative Constitutional Law. He also studied in Beijing, China, where he engaged in multilateral dialogue with Chinese government officials and business leaders. He speaks Mandarin Chinese at an intermediate-advanced level and maintains a deep interest in East Asian affairs, U.S.-China relations, and the intersection of geopolitics and economic policy.

Beyond his professional and academic work, Benjamin is deeply rooted in service. He is an active member of Passion City Church DC, where he serves on the Experience Team and supports the church’s outreach efforts in the Shaw neighborhood and across the city. Whether welcoming thousands to worship each Sunday, assisting with logistics, or helping serve those on the street, he remains committed to being the hands and feet of Christ in his community.

A proud North Carolinian and identical triplet, Benjamin is known for his heart of service, collaborative spirit, and tireless dedication to others. Whether through his legal fellowship, academic scholarship, or service in the church and public square, he aims to be a faithful steward of the gifts and responsibilities entrusted to him.
