35 years, Mero has authored numerous articles, papers, essays and books on culture, law and politics. From 2008 to 2018, Mero had been the voice for the “Mero Moment” on northern Utah radio KVNU, an AM news/talk station. Many of his writings can be found at his personal blog. In Congress, Mero helped to form the Conservative Action Team (evolving years later, through several iterations, into the now House Freedom Caucus) in the House of Representatives following the 1994 election; worked on social issues such as school prayer, defunding the National Endowment for the Arts, AIDS, the expulsion resolution of Congressman Barney Frank and preventing federal "sex studies" of school children; and, authored the controversial "What Homosexuals Do" remarks inserted into the Congressional Record on June 29, 1989, by Congressman Bill Dannemeyer, as well as authoring Congressman Bob Dornan's 1995 floor speech announcing his presidential run in the 1996 election. Mero partnered with Allan Carlson of the Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society to publish "The Natural Family: A Manifesto" on the centrality of marriage, family and child-rearing to freedom. Mero took Sutherland Institute from its infancy to what became the leading conservative voice in Utah. In January 2004, at an event at the Grand America Hotel, Mero reinvented the vision, mission and focus of Sutherland Institute to "transcending politics as usual," co-authoring "The Sutherland Dream" with founder Gaylord Swim and eventually authoring three foundational essays for the Institute: 1) The Sutherland Way: A Call to Responsible Citizens (2010), 2) The Sutherland Plan: The Right Things, The Right Reasons, The Right Way (2012), and 3) The Sutherland Idea: The Cause of Freedom (2013). During Mero's tenure, Sutherland focused on poverty, education, marriage and immigration. Mero was a co-author of the Utah Compact on immigration.
