NO LABELS URGES VOTERS TO SUPPORT PROBLEM SOLVERS ON NOVEMBER 4thNo Labels highlights 50 leaders who have earned Problem Solver Seal of Approval

Washington, D.C.— One week from Election Day, No Labels — a national group dedicated to moving beyond partisan politics and on to problem solving — has announced its final list of 50 candidates and congressional incumbents who have earned the group’s “Problem Solver Seal of Approval” this election cycle. The move comes after a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that says most voters will base their Election Day choices on two issues: “breaking the partisan gridlock in Washington to get things done” and “job creation and economic growth.” 

“The message is clear: Americans want problem solvers,” said Margaret Kimbrell, Executive Director of No Labels. “Candidates are proud of being called problem solvers, and they should be. November 4 is the time for voters to show candidates that you support those who will bring a problem solver attitude to Washington.” 

Elected officials and candidates who support development of No Labels’ National Strategic Agenda and who work to solve problems in a bipartisan way receive the seal of approval; most have chosen to use it as a credential as they seek election.

The National Strategic Agenda will be built on four widely agreed-upon goals (based on a nationwide survey): 

  • Create 25 million new jobs over the next 10 years;
  • Balance the federal budget by 2030;
  • Secure Medicare and Social Security for another 75 years; and
  • Make America energy secure by 2024.

The completed National Strategic Agenda will be unveiled in New Hampshire and Iowa on October 5, 2015, just as the presidential election campaign season is ramping up. No Labels will work to inject the agenda into the presidential debate by activating its network of citizens, members of Congress, and state and local leaders across America.

Supporters of the No Labels effort come from across the political spectrum — Democrat, Republican and Independent.
