Congressman Ron Kind (WI-3), New Democrat Coalition Chair

I first joined to the New Democrat Coalition when I came to Congress in 1997.  The coalition's focus on common sense and forward-looking policies mirrored the values of my western Wisconsin constituents who value a centrist and results-oriented philosophy.  More than a decade later, I am now proud to serve as Vice Chair of this outstanding and geographically diverse coalition and co-chair the Task Force on Innovation and Competitiveness.

I believe to maintain the confidence of the American people, Democrats must be the "party of ideas," and the NDC embodies that. Our commitment to innovation - in business, in health care, in education - is working to ensure America and its children remain competitive in a 21st century economy.  And as we face some of the greatest challenges of our time, the NDC will remain dedicated to strong, bipartisan, and fiscally responsible governance for the American people.
