The New Democrat Coalition is ready to help the House majority craft its policy agenda for the 116th Congress, launching eight issue-focused task forces to develop proposals on party priorities such as health care, infrastructure and climate change.

The group of centrist Democrats has used task forces to develop policy proposals in past Congresses, but they’re particularly excited about the work the task forces will do this session now that their party is in the majority.

With 101 coalition members, the New Democrats are the largest ideological group within the 240-member House Democratic Caucus. Through its eight task forces, the group is planning to play an active role in developing the policy agenda the party pursues over the next two years.

“We’re excited about the diverse perspectives and impressive ideas that all of our members will bring to the table,” New Democrat Chairman Derek Kilmer said in an interview. “I think we’re confident that our task forces can turn some of these ideas into pragmatic solutions, into actual policies to move the ball forward and engage with our entire caucus and hopefully the entire Congress.”

To make engagement outside the coalition easier, the group set up its task forces with at least one co-chair on each serving on a committee with jurisdiction over the policy area. They also ensured the co-chairs represented a broad range of other groups within the Democratic Caucus, like the large freshmen class and the various diversity caucuses.
