Washington, DC – Today, Inclusive Abundance applauds the launch of the Build America Caucus, the first bipartisan caucus focused on abundance-oriented policies. The caucus will be chaired by Congressman Josh Harder (CA-09) and has more than two dozen Democrats and Republicans committed to pushing for new ways to advance pro-growth policies and get stuff done.
Spurred by the increased interest in advancing an abundance policy agenda in Congress, Inclusive Abundance worked closely with Congressman Harder and a core group of House members to organize and launch this caucus. The bipartisan caucus will primarily be focused on energy permitting and transmission, housing, infrastructure, and innovation, moving policy ideas into action.
“I’m thrilled to see a bipartisan group of lawmakers come together to launch the Build America Caucus to organize and elevate abundance policies that have broad support across the political spectrum.” said Inclusive Abundance CEO Derek Kaufman. “Today’s launch of the Build America Caucus is an important step in the United States Congress to push for new ways to build more, faster, and cheaper in America. I look forward to continuing to work with Members on both sides of the aisle to advance thoughtful ideas and to accomplish big things.”
“Voters have lost faith in government because they don’t see results - they see gridlock, red tape, and delay,” said Chair Josh Harder. “It’s time to get back to building. Housing costs are out of control, our energy grid is strained, and foreign adversaries are racing ahead in critical manufacturing. The Build America Caucus is bringing Republicans and Democrats together to deliver real, pro-growth solutions. Our mission is simple: pass effective legislation that unleashes America’s full potential. Inclusive Abundance will be a critical partner in supporting the caucus’ work to do just that.”
The bipartisan caucus will work together to advance legislation and hold policy roundtables, in collaboration with outside organizations like Inclusive Abundance, to address some of the nation’s most pressing challenges through an abundance-lens.
