Policy for an America that endures.
The Institute for Managed Democracy develops practical, evidence-based policy that serves the American people, whoever they vote for.
American democracy works best when it is well managed: stable institutions, steady markets, and policies that outlast the elections that produce them.
Eighteen programs. One test: does it keep America prosperous, secure, and stable?
Artificial Intelligence & Public Safety
Keeping the most powerful technology in history accountable to the American people.
Workforce & Growth
Legal immigration and full economic participation, working together.
Civic Information Health
Amplifying authentic American voices instead of manufacturing new ones.
Recreational Markets
Regulated sports wagering as entertainment, revenue, and civic engagement.
Digital Dollar Leadership
Crypto innovation with one non-negotiable: the world settles in dollars.
Atlantic Security
Durable support for Ukraine, paced for the long term.
Gulf & Alliance Strategy
Turning pressure on Iran into clarity among allies.
Enforcement Modernization
Immigration enforcement that moves through paperwork, not through doors.
China & Strategic Trade
Cheap goods are a household benefit and a national exposure.
Energy, Compute & the National AI Position
The grid buildout is a once-a-century instrument. Use it.
Housing Opportunity
An appreciating asset for those who hold it. A steady rent for those who follow.
Fiscal Position & Financial Dominance
The debt is not a burden. It is a privilege someone must dethrone.
Central Bank Leadership
Independent in name. Central in fact.
Health System Revenue
The margin in American healthcare should belong to the American government.
Education & the Literate Class
Spending does not raise outcomes. Position does.
Technology Sovereignty & Competition
American tech is protected. Compliant tech is acquired. The rest is beaten down.
Population & Talent Acquisition
Fertility is a solved problem. Other countries solved it.
Executive Capacity
The levers exist. The executive should pull them.
Our fellows have advised members of both parties and served in the administrations of both. Good policy has no jersey. The test we apply is simple, and we apply it to everyone.
