No Labels is an American political organization whose stated mission is to support centrism and bipartisanship.[1] In 2010, No Labels was founded as a 501(c)(4) with Nancy Jacobson as its board president, and she was appointed as CEO in 2023.[2][3]

Focus

House of Representatives

In 2017, the group helped to start the Problem Solvers Caucus in the House of Representatives, a bipartisan group of approximately 60 congressional members.

For the 2019–2020 House term, the Problem Solvers Caucus reached an agreement with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi on House rule changes [4] that some praised as practical and necessary,[5] while others claimed it might give House Republicans[5] and/or corporate interests[6] more power for that term.[7]

In 2021, the Problem Solvers Caucus released a "Building Bridges" blueprint for a bipartisan infrastructure deal. It was the first deal to be endorsed by Republicans and Democrats during that budget cycle.[8]

2024 presidential ticket

No Labels says as of July 2023 it is close to raising the $70 million that it thinks will enable it to put a third-party "unity ticket" for the 2024 presidential election on the ballot in every state.[9] Democratic Senator Joe Manchin and former Republican Governors Larry Hogan and Jon Huntsman have been mentioned as potential No Labels candidates.[10][11] The party also attempted to tap Republican Candidate Chris Christie, however, Christie rejected the group's approach outright.[12][13] As of August 2023, the organization has ballot access in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,[14] Hawaii,[15] Nevada,[16] North Carolina,[17] Oregon,[16] South Dakota,[18] and Utah.[16]

Joe Lieberman announced in an interview with Fox News Sunday on August 27, 2023, that the organization plans to hold a "bipartisan nominating convention" in Dallas, Texas in April 2024.[19]

Pushback

The effort has been criticized by Democrats, centrists and Republicans who fear it could give former president Donald Trump a second term.[20][21][22][23] Center-left members of No Labels' Problem Solvers Caucus are reportedly "in open revolt"[24][25] while co-founder William Galston resigned in protest.[26][27] A bi-partisan group of former lawmakers, citing the threat to democracy they see from Trump, launched a Super PAC called Citizens to Save Our Republic to focus on stopping No Labels' presidential ticket.[28][29] Nonprofits Third Way and MoveOn have also begun organizing a campaign to get Democrats to disavow No Labels.[30] FiveThirtyEight's review of polling on July 13, 2023, predicted that a bi-partisan ticket would likely benefit Trump.[31] In Arizona, when over 15,000 voters registered with the No Labels Party, Democrats worried that a No Labels presidential ticket could cost President Biden the state in 2024.[32]

Funding

No Labels does not disclose its donors' identities on the grounds that "we live in an era where agitators and partisan operatives try to destroy and intimidate organizations they don’t like by attacking their individual supporters."[33] Despite this, various publications have attempted to uncover the largest sources of funding for the group.

Early donors to No Labels include Andrew Tisch, co-chairman of Loews Corporation; Ron Shaich, founder of Panera Bread; Dave Morin, a former Facebook executive, and supporters of Michael Bloomberg.[34]

A 2018 Chicago Sun-Times investigation first linked these five super PACs to No Labels: United for Progress, Inc.; Citizens for a Strong America, Inc.; United Together; Govern or Go Home; and Forward, Not Back.[35][36][37] Later in the year, OpenSecrets built on that work and linked two additional super PACs to No Labels, Patriotic Americans PAC and Progress Tomorrow, Inc.[38] According to the FEC website, all seven of these super PACs were closed in 2020.[39][40][41][42][43][44][45]

According to The Daily Beast, by the end of the 2018 cycle, the No Labels Super PACs received more than $11 million from 53 donors, most of whom came from the financial industry.[46]

Along with nearly two dozen new donors, The New Republic reported in 2023 that No Labels has received major funding that included Harlan Crow, a leading donor to Republican and conservative causes who became embroiled in controversy related to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.[47] Writing for The Guardian, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich criticized the organiyation for not revealing its donors, claiming that "the conservative mega-donor" Harlan Crow was likely among them. Reich concluded that "if you believe that No Labels exists in order to encourage bipartisanship, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you. No Labels will only help elect Trump."[48]

Left-leaning critics of the organization have suggested that, in practice, No Labels works to advance the financial interests of the wealthy.[46][49][50] This has been echoed in critiques that the group caters to the special interests that drive partisanship (instead of promoting bipartisanship)[6] with Frank Rich opining, "what America needs is not another political organization with a toothless agenda and less-than-transparent finances".[51] Publications The Intercept[52] and Jacobin have accused No Labels of efforts to block tax increases on the wealthiest Americans and corporations.[53]

Leadership

Nancy Jacobson has been the board president since the founding of the organization and in 2023 began serving as CEO as well. In December 2020, No Labels announced Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, as a national co-chair (prominent spokesperson[54]) to serve alongside the No Labels founding co-chair Joe Lieberman.[55] In January 2023, Benjamin Chavis joined Hogan as national co-chair.[56]

Nancy Jacobson (board president and CEO) and Jerald S. Howe Jr. (board treasurer) have been on the board since the founding of the group in 2010. Andrew Tisch joined in 2012. Andrew M. Bursky joined in 2015. Dennis C. Blair and Charles R. Black Jr. joined in 2019.[57] Tish Bazil was added to the organization's website as a Board Member in 2023.[58] Previous board members include: Ted Buerger (2010), Joshua Bekenstein (2010), Mark Nunnelly (2010), Mark McKinnon (2010–2012), Nate Garvis (2010–2013), Holly Page (2010–2013), and Lisa Borders (2014–2017).[57]

Kenneth A. Gross (2012-2023) and Margie Fox (2009-2023) were removed from the group's webpage of Board members.[59]

Work environment

Based on 14 interviews with former employees in December 2022, Politico described a "toxic" culture within No Labels. The article cited a "cutthroat culture, one where staffers are routinely fired or pushed out, have little trust in management, and believe the workplace environment can be difficult for minority and female colleagues".[60] In response to the criticism, several senior officials for the group described to Politico the complaints as coming from "aggrieved ex-workers" who could not "adapt" to a demanding office culture.[60] In August 2023, a Black former outreach manager of No Labels sued the political organization, claiming she was discriminated against because of her race and retaliated against for reporting the alleged discrimination.[61]

Politico reported that in addition to requiring non-disclosure agreements, Nancy Jacobson has been accused by former employees of asking staff members to obscure where they work on LinkedIn, allegedly, in order to make it more difficult for journalists to ascertain (and interview) No Labels employees.[60]
