Restoring America's Middle

About

A strong middle class is the foundation of a strong country.

Restoring America's Middle is dedicated to translating the priorities of middle class Americans—the cost of a home, a doctor's visit, a tank of gas—into bold, actionable policy that cuts through the noise and delivers real results. We believe every American deserves a fair shot at success, and that a strong, thriving middle class is the foundation of a strong, thriving country.

Too often, politicians in DC lose sight of these priorities. We believe that a refocus on the issues that actually affect the middle class can deliver real improvements to quality of life for all Americans.

Together, we can push for policies that deliver results, in DC and in state capitals all over the country. In the coming weeks and months, Restoring America's Middle will be engaging with political and policy partners, releasing research, and doing the work necessary to raise the profile of working Americans and their priorities.

Our Founding Principles

We believe that the government can help all working Americans succeed, build wealth, and reach for the American Dream.

  1. The middle class is the engine that drives this country.

    When working families thrive, America thrives. Restoring and strengthening the middle class is both an economic and moral necessity.

  2. The American Dream is still worth fighting for.

    If you work hard and play by the rules, you can buy a home, get a great job, start a business, and raise a family. That promise belongs to everyone, and we intend to keep it.

  3. Government should work for everyone, not just the well-connected.

    We believe that government can be a genuine force for good in people's lives, if it is focused on results, transparent in process, and always accountable.

  4. The rules of the road should be simple, fair, and built for everyone.

    When government regulations are clear and fair, people thrive—and communities grow stronger together.

  5. We should champion economic innovation, not fear it.

    The world is changing at light speed, and America should be leading that change. We believe in empowering the next generation, investing in the industries and ideas of tomorrow, and making sure the benefits of innovation flow to all working people, particularly the middle class.

We believe that the government can help all working Americanssucceed, build wealth, and reach for the American Dream.
