No Labels
No Labels is an American political organization whose stated mission is to support centrism and bipartisanship through what it calls the "commonsense majority". No Labels was founded in 2010 as a 501(c)(4) by current president and CEO Nancy Jacobson. Senator Joe Lieberman served as its national co-chair from 2014 to 2024.
On April 4, 2024, the organization ended its effort to secure ballot access for a Unity ticket for the 2024 United States presidential election. Following Lieberman's death on March 27, 2024, the organization stated that it would remain true to its commitment to not offer its ballot line to a candidate who did not have a likely path to victory to avoid them acting as a "spoiler" for either party.
No Labels was founded on December 13, 2010, with the slogan "Not Left. Not Right. Forward". Organizers said the aim was to organize American voters against partisanship in politics and encourage a "common ground" approach to problem solving. The group's early efforts were viewed by some skeptics as an attempt to support a potential third party presidential campaign for Michael Bloomberg in 2012, which he and No Labels denied. No Labels had relatively few Republicans at its first conference in 2010, and criticism of the movement at the time came largely from the right.[relevant? – discuss]
In January 2013, No Labels promoted an informal "Problem Solvers" caucus in Congress for members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The group initially began as 24 Democratic and Republican members of Congress who pledged to meet regularly. Members would identify their affiliation by wearing lapel pins, particularly during events such as the 2013 and 2015 State of the Union addresses.
In 2017, the group helped to formally start the Problem Solvers Caucus in the House of Representatives, a bipartisan group of approximately 60 congressional members.
Before the 2019–2020 House term, No Labels released a plan to enhance bipartisan cooperation in Congress called The Speaker Project. Several planks from this proposal were later included in an agreement that the Problem Solvers Caucus reached with Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Some praised the agreement as practical and necessary, while others claimed it might give House Republicans and/or corporate interests more power for that term.
In 2021, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) convened governors, senators and House members of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus for a summit on finding bipartisan consensus in President Biden’s proposed infrastructure plan. Following the summit, the group agreed that any infrastructure plan should focus first on “conventional infrastructure” before addressing a more expansive plan. The resulting "Building Bridges" blueprint for a bipartisan infrastructure deal was the first deal to be endorsed by Republicans and Democrats during that budget cycle.[relevant? – discuss]
In 2023 and 2024, two smaller left-wing outlets have criticized the organization for its pro-Israel stances including around cracking down on campus protests.
