What No Labels does

No Labels is a U.S. nonprofit political organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., that organizes the political center to counter partisan dysfunction. It pursues three programmatic lines: identifying and supporting bipartisan members of Congress through the Problem Solvers Caucus and regular bicameral meetings; mobilizing a national grassroots membership — including donors and petition signers who helped secure 2024 ballot access across all 50 states and the District of Columbia — to defend allied incumbents against primary challenges; and producing a steady cadence of policy publications (e.g., 'Commonsense Policy Booklet' in 2023, 'Nightmare on Main Street' in 2026, 'Beyond Lincoln' in 2026) and recurring content including the Weekly Newsletter and 'Just The Facts.'

The organization is governed by a ten-member Governing Board that includes a former U.S. Director of National Intelligence and is publicly anchored by eight National Leaders drawn from both parties, including Senator Susan Collins, Representative Josh Gottheimer, Representative Mike Lawler, and former Senator Evan Bayh. The workforce of approximately 20 staff combines campaign, policy, research, digital, and operations roles, with leadership including a Chief Strategist, a Co-Executive Director, a Co-Executive Director of Development, and a Chief of Staff.

No Labels does not sell a software product. Revenue is generated through donations collected via the main website's Donate flow and through the Candidate Giving Portal that routes contributions to allied congressional campaigns. Technology is limited to a digital-first web platform used for content distribution, membership recruitment, donation processing (including through a third-party processor, Anedot), and event promotion — including the 'Independent Conversations' virtual series covering Trade & Tariffs, AI & the Future of Work, Healthcare, and Energy.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Problem Solvers CaucuscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerNo Labels helped create the Problem Solvers Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. This bipartisan caucus brings together Democrats and Republicans who are willing to govern with common sense. No Labels connects these House members with a bipartisan group of Senate allies through regular 'bicameral' meetings that have fostered major legislative victories including the 2021 Infrastructure Bill and CHIPS and Science Act.
• Harvard Business SchoolcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerHarvard Business School authored a case study titled 'No Labels and the 2024 Presidential Insurance Plan' by Senior Lecturer Robert F. White and Tom Quinn. The case study provides an insider look at No Labels' 15-year history as a political innovator, from founding in 2010 through the 2024 Unity Ticket project, documenting the organization's efforts to challenge entrenched political interests in Washington.
• Former Treasury and Federal Reserve OfficialsminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerNo Labels consulted with former Treasury and Federal Reserve officials, economists, and investors while researching and writing 'Nightmare on Main Street,' their oral history of a potential debt crisis. These experts helped inform No Labels' policy analysis on fiscal challenges facing the country.
• No Labels National LeaderscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerNo Labels has 8 National Leaders including Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), Representatives Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Jared Golden, Max Miller, Josh Gottheimer, Maggie Goodlander, Mike Lawler, and former Senator Evan Bayh. These public leaders have shown courage and results in representing the commonsense center, and No Labels periodically invites them to serve as National Leaders representing the best of America.

Direct peers

• Unite America: A nonprofit political organization that funds and recruits independent and centrist candidates to challenge the two-party duopoly. Directly comparable to No Labels because both operate as national movements mobilizing donors and voters around independent, anti-partisan candidacies and share the same ballot-access and reform agenda.
• Forward Party: A political party founded by Andrew Yang focused on ranked-choice voting, open primaries, and pragmatic problem-solving politics. Direct peer to No Labels in mission (centrist/independent reform movement), donor model, and electoral strategy.
• Bipartisan Policy Center: A Washington-based think tank that drives bipartisan policy solutions across infrastructure, health, and economic issues. Comparable to No Labels in its mission-oriented, cross-aisle legislative engagement model and strong congressional relationships.
• Issue One: A reform-focused political nonprofit working to reduce partisan polarization, strengthen ethics, and improve U.S. democracy. Shares No Labels' bipartisan reform mission and donor-supported advocacy model.
• RepresentUs: A national anti-corruption and election reform organization with state and federal campaigns. Comparable because it channels grassroots donors into legislative wins across the political spectrum, much like No Labels' strategy with the Problem Solvers Caucus.
• Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget: A nonpartisan fiscal-policy advocacy organization focused on U.S. national debt and budget reform. Direct alignment with No Labels' 'Nightmare on Main Street' fiscal crisis content and related policy research on federal spending.
• FixUS: An initiative of the bipartisan Commission on Political Reform focused on bridging partisan divides and strengthening democratic norms. Comparable to No Labels as a smaller-scale, donor-funded bridge-building political movement.

Broad incumbents

• ReForm's Caucus: A wider Congressional caucus infrastructure (formerly the Blue Dog Coalition successor space and related reform groups) that convenes centrists around policy. Broader incumbent peer given its longer history and footprint compared to No Labels' caucus-model program.
• Niskanen Center: A center-right think tank advocating pragmatic, evidence-based policy across immigration, climate, and regulatory reform. Comparable to No Labels' policy-publication strategy and broad-appeal, non-doctrinaire policy positioning.
• Public Citizen: A long-established consumer and democracy advocacy nonprofit with significant grassroots membership and policy publications. Comparable to No Labels as a movement-style, donation-driven political advocacy organization, though with a more left-leaning orientation.
