Issue One

WHO WE ARE: Issue One is the nation's leading political reform organization—uniting Republicans, Democrats, and independents around one goal: a democracy that actually works for everyone. OUR MISSION: Give every American the tools and knowledge to re-engage with democracy — and help us build one that works for everyone. HOW WE DO IT: We combine expert research, policy advocacy, and nonpartisan public education to defend democratic processes, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics and accountability, and promote good governance. OUR FOCUS AREAS: Elections and election administration | Disinformation | Dark money | Congressional reform | Social media harms OUR TEAM: We're former members of Congress, governors, Cabinet officials, and election administrators — alongside leaders from philanthropy, media, and social entrepreneurship. We know the system from the inside. And we're committed to fixing it.
