Third Way Congratulates the New Democrat Coalition’s Majority Makers on their 25th Anniversary

WASHINGTON — Third Way released the following statement:

"It is no coincidence that the biggest advances in Washington are directly tied to the strength of the New Democrat Coalition. As we celebrate their 25^thanniversary, Third Way applauds these majority makers for their leadership and commitment to delivering meaningful progress for the American public and the communities they represent.

"Year after year, New Dems have shown the only proven path to flipping seats from Red to Blue. When Democrats captured the House gavel in 2018, it was because of the wave of New Dem victories that flipped 33 of net 40 seats. And they were the only ideological caucus to flip seats again in 2020.

"In office, the pragmatic and innovative New Dems set an agenda to deliver results that impact lives. They have been at the forefront of passing, defending, and expanding the protections of the Affordable Care Act. And the Coalition was instrumental in stabilizing our economy through the American Rescue Plan that got vaccines in arms and paychecks in pockets, delivering historic bipartisan investments to repair the nation’s infrastructure, and expanding opportunities for all Americans to earn a good life.

"They are the face of the modern, moderate wing of the Party. The Coalition showcases a diverse and talented group of members who bring expertise and valuable perspectives from careers in national security, science, business, and health care.

"We are proud to partner every day with the New Democrat Coalition to craft forward-looking solutions to the challenges of a modern digital age."
