Wednesday July 06, 2005 • Senator Evan Bayh: The New Democrat Movement
The New Democrat movement emerged as a means to modernize the progressive tradition in politics, and its followers espouse bipartisanship and moderate thinking, which has alienated some of the Democratic Party’s left-leaning members. Bayh is a leader of the New Democrat movement and is spearheading the creation of the Third Way, an organization designed to build consensus around legislation that would otherwise remain bogged down in the political turf wars. Before his election to the Senate, Bayh served two terms as governor of Indiana. Bayh will explain the New Democrat movement’s goals and outline a course of action to bring cooperation and progressivism back to politics. Introduced by Larry Stone, Santa Clara County Assessor.
