New Dems Release Report on American Prosperity Agenda
Washington, DC – Today, the New Democrat Coalition released a report detailing work New Dem Members have done to advance the tenets laid out in the Coalition’s American Prosperity Agenda. The Prosperity Agenda, originally released in March 2015, outlines 24 principles the group supports to grow the economy, preserve the American Dream, and make government work better.
“This report illustrates what we need to do to win in the economy of the future,” said Coalition Chairman Ron Kind. “There is no question that today’s economy isn’t the one I grew up in. And, it won’t be the one my grandchildren grow up in either. The past two decades have seen incredible economic change and the policies outlined in this report are great examples of what we can do to adapt to the change we’ve seen.
“Most Americans are tired of partisan gridlock in Washington and overblown rhetoric on the presidential campaign trail. The ideas outlined in this report represent solutions – many bipartisan – for addressing problems that have seemed intractable for far too long. Many have already become law, but there’s much more we can do to make meaningful progress.”
The report contains details on 200 bills, letters, and other projects that members of the New Dems have worked to advance in the 114th Congress. The report contains at least one item from every member of the coalition, over half of which are bipartisan and many of which have become law or advanced through the House.
