New Dems
@newdems
The New Dems are made up of 114 center-left House Democrats committed to breaking through gridlock to deliver results for Americans. Led by Chair Brad Schneider (IL-10).
Congratulations to this year's cohort of NextGen NewDems on completing the program! Over the past seven months, early-career staffers from over 60 New Dem offices have met to develop skills that apply to their daily work and will set them up to be the next generation of leaders in Congress.
One year on from Republicans' Big Ugly Bill, more than half of Americans are struggling to afford the basic essentials. @repshontelbrown.bsky.social breaks down how the disastrous law is affecting working families across the country on the latest episode of the Fly-In, available now.
The American people cannot afford more of Trump's reckless tariffs, yet Republicans want to hand Trump even more power to leverage tariffs by asserting it's to "defend Ukraine." Statement from New Dem Chair @repschneider.bsky.social and Trade & Tariffs Task Force Chair @beyer.house.gov.
After Republicans' sent members home early before the recess, New Dems were back in action working for the American people again this week. Here's what New Dems were up to! ⬇

When families lose health coverage, everyone pays the price. @repshontelbrown.bsky.social explains how Republicans' health care cuts will increase medical debt, strain hospitals, and raise costs on the latest episode of the Fly-In, coming later today.
Costs at the grocery store and gas pump continue to rise, and over half of Americans are now feeling the squeeze. While Republicans refuse to take action to lower costs, New Dems are leading the fight to make everyday essentials more affordable for American families.
Excited to have @repshontelbrown.bsky.social on The Fly-In this week to talk gas & grocery costs, healthcare, one year of Republicans' Big Ugly Bill, and more! Available wherever you get podcasts later this week.
For years, families waited for action on housing affordability—that's why Congress passed the ROAD to Housing Act despite Trump's refusal to sign it. By cutting red tape and making it easier to build more homes, we're lowering housing costs for working families.
After countless delays, the ROAD to Housing Act is FINALLY law! Statement from New Dem Vice Chair for Policy @budzinski.house.gov, Housing, Infrastructure, & Transportation Working Group Chair @normajtorres.bsky.social, & Housing Task Force Chair @repemiliasykes.bsky.social.
From national parks to wildlife refuges, America's public lands belong to everyone, yet Republicans keep trying to sell them away to the highest bidder. @repgabevasquez.bsky.social discusses the fight to keep public lands in public hands on the latest episode of the Fly-In, available now.
No child should go hungry because of Republicans' Big Ugly Bill, yet more than 800,000 children have already lost SNAP benefits in the past year. New Dems are fighting to lower costs for American families and protect the programs working families rely on.
Over the last 250 years, we've achieved a lot as a nation. New Dems share their thoughts on some of our greatest accomplishments ⬇️
Families already saw a 58% average increase in their healthcare costs this year, and next year they're set to see another double-digit bump. Yet Republicans still refuse to do anything to lower costs or reverse their own cuts.
New Dems shaped the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act with 22 New Dem-led bills to build more housing and lower costs. Yet Trump is needlessly holding up legislation that would deliver real relief for working families—proving once again he doesn't care about lowering costs.
What does the screwworm outbreak have to do with your grocery bill? @repgabevasquez.bsky.social explains how this threat to America's cattle industry could drive up beef prices and why Congress needs to act on the latest episode of the Fly-In, available now.
What gives New Dems hope as we celebrate 250 years as a nation and look ahead to the future? It's simple: our people.
Two years ago, Trump promised he'd bring in a "golden age" of American manufacturing. Instead, he's eliminating jobs left and right.
New Dems wish @usmnt.ussoccer.com the best of luck tonight as they take on Belgium! Lets go Team USA! 🇺🇸⚽️
Americans need more affordable housing—not more delays. The only thing standing in the way of lowering costs is Trump's signature, and the clock is ticking for his decision.
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 As we celebrate our nation's founding, New Dems remain committed to expanding opportunity, strengthening our democracy, and building an America where everyone has the chance to succeed.
One year ago, Republicans betrayed working families to help the top 1% get even richer. Here's how their Big Ugly Bill has already made Americans worse off.

A New Dem provision in the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act could make manufactured homes up to $10,000 cheaper by modernizing outdated regulations. @repgabevasquez.bsky.social breaks it down on the newest episode of the Fly-In, available wherever you get your podcasts.
The USMCA is key to growing our economy, protecting jobs, and lowering costs. That's why New Dems are calling on the Trump Administration to strengthen this vital agreement, not walk away from it. Statement from New Dem Trade & Tariffs Task Force Chair @beyer.house.gov:
New Dems were pleased to host Canadian Ambassador Mark Wiseman yesterday for a conversation on strengthening the partnership between our two countries, strengthening the critical USMCA free trade agreement, and building on our shared priorities.
