About the New Democrat Coalition
What Is A New Democrat? |
Founded in 1997, The New Democrat Coalition
(NDC) provides moderate, pro-growth Members of Congress with the
opportunity to advance a common sense policy agenda to move
our country in the right direction. New Democrats have built a
reputation as the "go-to" group in Congress on the critical issues
of economic growth, national security, personal responsibility, and
technology development. Hailing
from every region of the country, New Democrats are intent on
modernizing both the Democratic Party and the country. New
Democrats support policies to expand economic growth and ensure that
all Americans have the opportunity to benefit from that growth; a
fiscally responsible and efficient government; a secure homefront;
and a robust foreign policy that includes trade, constructive U.S.
leadership throughout the world, and a modern and strong military.
Reorganized under
new leadership at the beginning of the 109th Congress,
the NDC is a cohesive core of active
members committed to these legislative goals. NDC members
engage in candid policy discussions during weekly meetings and look
forward to bringing new members to these discussions as membership
grows. While the NDC seeks to expand its ranks of like-minded
members, it is also reaching out to experts for their help in gathering support for
critical legislative priorities. |
