ICYMI: Problem Solvers Caucus Announces New Members for 117th Congress

Press Release

Today, the Problem Solvers Caucus announced its members for the 117th Congress, including sixteen new members, bringing the Caucus' total membership to 28 Democrats and 28 Republicans.

"Over the last four years, we've steadily illustrated the benefits of bipartisan lawmaking and the power of working together to break the gridlock. Now, we're ready to build on that progress, help the nation heal, and ensure Washington is finally focused on best serving the needs of the American people," said Problem Solvers Co-Chair Tom Reed. "The continued growth of the Caucus, including our wonderful class of new members, is a testament to the growing number of proud Republicans and proud Democrats in Congress willing to put country before party."

"As the President said yesterday, we must put country first, find ways to bind our wounds, and unite to tackle our toughest challenges -- from the virus to the economy. With Congress now narrowly divided in both chambers, bipartisanship will be key to enacting meaningful legislation," said Problem Solvers Co-Chair Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). "With this new class of Problem Solvers Caucus members, it's clear that there is growing enthusiasm to break through the gridlock in Congress and work across the aisle to help move our nation forward. I'm honored to help lead this group this Congress at such a pivotal moment."

"I firmly believe that what unites us as Americans is more than anything that may divide us. I joined the Problems Solvers Caucus in Congress to break through the gridlock of today's politics and find commonsense solutions on behalf of Long Islanders," said Rep. Andrew Garbarino.
