Today, the Ideas Primary announced the membership of its new board of advisors. We’re tremendously grateful to each member for agreeing to serve. The board comprises a very distinguished panel, including the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, a series of up-and-coming state and local politicians, a number of former cabinet officials, and a number of longtime supporters of the New Democratic movement.

The board’s members include:

• The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of Kansas and chair, Democratic Governors Association
• The Honorable Charlene Barshefsky, Former U.S. Trade Representative
• The Honorable Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey
• The Honorable Robin Carnahan, Secretary of State of Missouri
• The Honorable Dan Glickman, Former Secretary of Agriculture
• The Honorable Jack Markell, State Treasurer of Delaware
• The Honorable Nicole Parra, Member of the California State Assembly
• The Honorable Andrew Romanoff, Speaker of the Colorado House
• The Honorable Rodney Slater, Former Secretary of Transportation
• The Honorable Lawrence H. Summers, Former Secretary of the Treasury
• Frank Brosens
• Edward T. Cloonan
• Derek Kirkland
• Peter Mathias
• Howard Rossman
• David Rothkopf
• David Steiner

As members of the board, advisors will serve as leaders in publishing their ideas on the website and offering guidance and suggestions for the project. However, board membership does not indicate endorsement of any individual published idea, as the Ideas Primary is meant to foster a free-ranging discussion of policy solutions, some which will foster broad agreement, and others that will fall short.
