Mehek Cooke

BORN IN INDIA, MADE IN AMERICA

PRINCIPAL

Mehek Cooke, the founder and President of American Frontier Strategies, stands at the forefront of shaping narratives and empowering clients to achieve their goals. With a career spanning law, media advising, and public speaking, Mehek navigates the complexities of public affairs and strategic decision-making.

 Born in India and immigrating to the United States at the age of five, Mehek was raised with the wisdom and courage imparted by her father, a former Indian Naval Officer. Her upbringing instilled in her a deep commitment to the American values of determination, opportunity, and resilience.

 Throughout her career, Mehek has been at the forefront of pivotal events and crises. Her tenure in the Ohio Governor’s Office saw her manage significant safety and security challenges, including the infamous release of dangerous wild animals in Zanesville, Ohio. As legal counsel in a high-profile death penalty case, and during her time at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio, she tackled criminal cases involving corruption, terrorism, drug trafficking, asset forfeiture, and money laundering. Mehek's expertise also extends to roles such as Immigration Attorney at Barnes & Thornburg, LLP, Procurement Specialist for the U.S. State Department's Political-Military Affairs Regional Arms Division, and Terrorism Analyst for Chief Judge Richard Magnus of Singapore.

Academically, Mehek holds a Political Science degree from The Ohio State University, a master’s degree in State and Local Politics from Indiana University-Purdue University, focusing on national security, and a Juris Doctor from Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

 Beyond the law, Mehek is a recognized political and legal surrogate for the Republican National Committee. She has served as a commentator on Ohio's largest corruption scandal, breaking news during the Epstein case, and a lead spokeswoman on critical women’s healthcare issues. Mehek’s analysis is regularly featured on prominent platforms, including Fox News, NewsMax, ABC, BBC, News Nation, and 610 WTVN.
