Anyone who wants to build a better American future has to recognize that our problems cannot be solved by partisan politics. Washington today is completely out of whack. It’s not just that partisanship is dominant in our politics. It’s that partisan politics have crowded out the space for anything else.

 

An America United was founded to bring people together to advance bold, commonsense solutions for all Americans. Amid this awful pandemic, this approach is needed now more than ever. 

 

That’s why I’m honored to accept the position of national co-chair of No Labels. No Labels has been working for a decade to reorient the nation’s politics toward bipartisan problem solving. This group was instrumental in establishing the Problem Solvers Caucus — a bipartisan group of 50 lawmakers in the U.S. House. When the prospect of another COVID-19 relief package was dead in the water, the Problem Solvers Caucus came together to bring it back to life. No Labels convened dozens of bipartisan meetings with members of the House and Senate that built trust among members and made the bipartisan $908 billion COVID-19 proposal possible.

 

I’ve accepted the role as national co-chair of No Labels to continue pushing our federal leaders to break the gridlock, to act as a bridge between problem solvers on the state and federal levels, and to encourage all Americans to see that they can play a role in solving the serious problems we face.

In this past election, Americans sent a clear message that they are tired of the dysfunction in Washington and don’t want to give unchecked power to either party. Americans voted to narrow the majorities in both the Senate and House. This dynamic gives lawmakers who want to get things done an unprecedented opportunity to assert leverage and demand results. An America United and No Labels are literally made for this moment. But we can’t do it without your support.
