The group will come together in Washington to give input on the nation\u2019s uniting issues and launch a four point National Strategic Agenda.\n\u201cThe issues that unite us are far greater than those that divide us and we\u2019re proud to join with No Labels as part of our effort to highlight those uniting issues,\u201d Reed said. \u201cI care about the big issues we face as a country and recognize the need to agree on big goals. No Labels is one of the vehicles that will get leaders from both sides of the aisle to the table to start the conversation. Coming together with so many others who care and are interested in the process, I\u2019m optimistic we can get a strong coalition of problem solvers to the table.\u201d\nThe group is set to launch a \u201cNational Strategic Agenda\u201d \u2013 four foundational principles both sides of the aisle have shown broad support for. The agenda calls for the country to: grow 25 million new jobs over the next ten years; secure Medicare and Social Security for at least 75 years; balance the federal budget by 2030; and make America energy secure by 2024.\n\u201cWe came to Washington to change the culture, that\u2019s why we\u2019re part of groups like No Labels and the Go Big Coalition \u2013 to find common ground,\u201d Reed continued. \u201cI want to act, I want to see results \u2013 that\u2019s why I\u2019m at the table, ready to talk about what common themes we can unite around. We will sit down with anyone willing to talk and committed to finding solutions.\u201d\nReed pointed to successful areas of the House, Senate and White House coming together to enact pieces of significant legislation including the Farm Bill, Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act and the Ryan-Murray Budget and said more can always be done.\n\u201cWe can always do more to be a voice for coming together,\u201d Reed said. \u201cThere are real philosophical differences in Washington and across our country but we can always work with others, build trust and build respect. At the end of the day, we all have the same goal: to improve this great country for our children and grandchildren.\u201d\nReed joined as a No Labels Problem Solver in spring 2013 and pushed with the bipartisan group to successfully get the \u201cNo Budget, No Pay\u201d legislation signed into law. Reed is also leading on another No Labels initiative, \u201cMake Government Work,\u201d and introduced a bill with Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR), \u201cNo Adding, No Padding,\u201d to stop assuming automatic year-to-year spending increases.\n#####", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140919001528/http://reed.house.gov/press-release/reed-no-labels-launch-national-strategic-agenda"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0139509104192257, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
