New America, formerly the New America Foundation, is a left-of-center think tank in the United States. It focuses on a range of public policy issues, including national security studies, technology, asset building, health, gender, energy, education, and the economy. The think tank’s scholars and affiliated commentators include former and some current journalists and former members of the Obama administration.
New America was criticized for firing a scholar in 2017 after that scholar had praised regulatory action against Google, whose former CEO, Eric Schmidt, is a major donor to the think tank. [1]

Obama Administration Ties
Despite claiming to reject ideology,the top echelon of the organization includes alumni from Democratic President Barack Obama’s administration. New America CEO Anne-Marie Slaughter served the administration as director of policy planning for the State Department from 2009 to 2011, working under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She was previously the dean of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs from 2002 to 2009. [9]
Slaughter took the helm of the organization in 2013. During a 2018 interview with Politico, she seemed to advocate for Democratic victories in the midterm elections:[10]
New America is non-partisan, but this presidency is imperiling our democracy, our national security, our commitment to the rule of law, our belief in the search for truth and knowledge, and our sense of common humanity […] In a system of party politics, we all have presidents we like and dislike, but we still respect the office of the presidency. This is different. Trump is defiling and degrading that office. I only hope that he provokes a counter-reaction so strong, at the polls and in our lives and hearts, that it provides the energy and vision for the scale of change we need to create the next America.
New America president and chief operating officer Tyra A. Mariani previously served as the chief of staff at the Department of Education during the Obama administration. [11]
Cecilia Munoz is the think tank’s vice president for public interest technology and local initiatives. Munoz served for eight years on President Obama’s senior staff, first as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs followed by five years as Director of the Domestic Policy Council. Before working for the Obama White House, she was the senior vice president for UnidosUS (then the National Council of La Raza), an organization that supports granting legal status to illegal immigrants. [12]
In 2009, at the start of the Obama administration, thethink tank began getting federal contracts with the State Departmentto help development wireless networks for dissidents in Iran, Syria, Libya, and Cuba. This raised concerns among alumni of the organization who felt it could inhibit the group’s independence from government. [13]
Even a conservative-sounding division—Fix the Debt—had an Obama connection. Fix the Debt became a division of the New America Foundation in 2012, with the former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-WY) andformer Clinton White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles running the division. President Obama had appointed the two to co-chair a bipartisan presidential commission to produce ways to reduce the debt that includes both tax hikes, spending cuts and entitlement reforms. Fix the Debt was one of the bigger moneymakers for the think tank, with Republican businessman Pete Peterson reportedly giving the most to the division. [14]
Fix the Debt is no longer part of New America and is now a division of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. [15]

Barry Lynn Firing
When Eric Schmidt first joined the New America board of directors, he was till the CEO of software company Novell, and said, “the government is no longer ignoring us, so we have to get organized,” adding, “The ideas that come out may well include some I might not agree with.” [20] Schmidt later become CEO of Google (later reorganized under Alphabet, Inc.).
In 2017, New America fired the head of its pro-antitrust-enforcement Open Markets division, Barry Lynn, after he criticized Google. Lynn praised a $2.7 billion fine levied by the European Union against Google, saying the EU “is protecting the free flow of information and commerce upon which all democracies depend.” [21]
The Google corporation and Schmidt’s family foundation had donated $21 million to New America over the years, while New America’s main conference room was reportedly named the “Eric Schmidt Ideas Lab,” after the then-CEO of Google’s parent company. [22]
