Today, the NewDEAL celebrates our 11th anniversary of supporting innovative, principled, and highly effective state and local leaders around the country!

To recognize the incredible achievements of NewDEALers, take a look back at one of our first classes of NewDEAL Leaders who joined the network exactly ten years ago. In 2012, we already knew they represented a special kind of public servant, and we’re not surprised to see where many of them ended up.

66 elected officials joined our network in 2012

NewDEAL Leaders exemplify the type of leadership our nation needs to continue moving forward. We’ve already seen how NewDEALers have been on the frontlines of steering our nation through the pandemic, and now they’re the ones making smart decisions about using an influx of federal recovery funds to address the inequities laid bare by the pandemic and build a better future for everyone. See our report, “The American Rescue Plan – One Year Later” for case studies of how NewDEALers are taking advantage of this moment to rebuild a stronger America. And don’t miss the opportunity to hear NewDEALers talk on our podcast An Honorable Profession about how they found their way into public service, what they’re prioritizing in their work now, and much more - subscribe now!
