Overview
Founded in 2007 by former Senate majority leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell, the Bipartisan Policy Center is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank devoted to promoting bipartisanship. The Center supports deliberations on a range of issues by former elected and appointed officials, business and labor leaders, and academics and advocates. The Center’s work is an important component of the Madison Initiative’s overarching democracy work, particularly on Congress, campaigns, and elections. Through its relationships with key players in Washington, the Center helps to find new solutions, test their political feasibility, elevate solutions in the public mind, and encourage action on policy.
