New Democrat Coalition Chair Ron Kind Underscores Need to Go Big
Today, New Democrat Coalition Chair Ron Kind (WI-03) released the following statement after the announcement of the New Alan Simpson-Erskine Bowles plan:
“New Dems continue their support of a big, balanced deal to get our fiscal house in order. We hope today’s push by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson will spark a renewed sense of urgency among Members to reach a bipartisan agreement and we look forward to seeing more details of their plan. As New Dems, we are ready to work across the aisle to secure a long-term plan of significance.”
Members of the New Democrat Coalition continue to advocate for a bipartisan, comprehensive deficit reduction proposal that combines spending cuts and revenue. Last fall, Members of the coalition sent a letter to President Obama, Speaker Boehner, and Democratic Leader Pelosi highlighting these commonsense bipartisan solutions.
