The Competitive Policy Project was founded on a simple but urgent belief: America’s democracy is on life support, and the only way to revive it is through robust, competitive ideas—not ideological entrenchment.

We are a bipartisan coalition of policy experts, strategists, and thought leaders who recognize that real solutions come from engaging in the hard work of debate, negotiation, and compromise. Instead of retreating to partisan corners, we believe in fostering a dynamic marketplace of ideas where the best policies win—not just the loudest voices.

Our Mission

We aim to restore competition in policymaking by elevating substantive debates, challenging groupthink, and ensuring that diverse perspectives are not only heard but tested. Through rigorous research, strategic advocacy, and engagement across political divides, we work to inject new energy into our governing institutions and create pathways for sustainable, effective policies.

Our Approach

• Bipartisan Collaboration – We bring together the best minds from across the political spectrum to develop, refine, and champion solutions that can gain broad support.

• Policy Innovation – We prioritize fresh thinking over ideological purity, ensuring that policy ideas are competitive, viable, and responsive to real-world challenges.

• Democratic Renewal – By resisting political tribalism and fostering open dialogue, we seek to restore faith in our institutions and create a system that works for all Americans.

Who We Are

Our team is made up of experienced policy professionals, former government officials, strategists, and advocates who have worked across party lines to drive meaningful change. We are backed by a growing network of civic leaders, business voices, and policy innovators committed to moving beyond today’s dysfunction and toward a more dynamic and competitive democracy.

If you believe in the power of ideas to shape a stronger future, join us. The work of reviving democracy starts here.
