Break gridlock
We diagnose why Congress stalls, and prescribe fixes that get cross-partisan support.
New Statecraft Institute
In matters of statecraft, the search for common ground is a moral imperative.
Our mission is to empower a new generation of leaders who reject toxic tribalism and harness voters’ revulsion to business as usual in Washington.
Our Mission
Independent research. Achievable reform.
New Statecraft Institute conducts resolutely independent research and analysis of federal policy, generates unique insights, and offers bold prescriptions for achievable reforms.
We equip transformative leaders with the tools to break gridlock in Washington and implement the fundamental changes required to restore citizens' trust in government.
We answer pressing policy challenges by drawing wisdom from every person and place it can be found.
We vigorously dispute the notion that potential solutions are only worth considering if they have a "D" or an "R" next to them.
We offer pragmatic policy guidance in federal public affairs.
What We Do
Four objectives guide our work
End conflicts of interest
We craft policies that align incentives with public priorities, and hold decision-makers accountable.
Move past the duopoly
We draw on ideas from across the political spectrum, and judge them solely on whether they work.
Rebuild trust in government
We document what's real and true, so debate can be informed by established facts.

Leadership
Practiced in the art of the possible
Our executive team draws on decades of experience in public policy, law, academia, and service to ideologically diverse members of Congress.
This collective approach results in work product that assiduously avoids partisan and ideological bias. For example, a proposal that seems more closely associated with a progressive or conservative viewpoint will be methodically tuned to maximize the likelihood of bipartisan support and eventual enactment. After all, politics is the art of the possible.
