Sorry. Congressional was probably the wrong word, but two Congressmen were promoting it.
Last week, former Senator Tom Coburn held an event to introduce our organization, Pursuit. The event included a special guest, Senator James Lankford (R-OK). The event was widely attended by staffers, media, and guests who are interested in our mission. A mission that implores Congress to prioritize the futures of young Americans ahead of their reelections.
During the event, Dr. Coburn spoke about the inception of Pursuit and the need to provide younger Americans with the tools to hold our government accountable. He also emphasized that this would not be a partisan group, but rather an organization leading the charge to reverse problems that both parties are complicit in. Issues like our unsustainable federal debt, inefficient and duplicative federal programs, and the need for today’s Congress to think long term. “Whether you’re a liberal, or a conservative, or if you’re right in the middle, or your a democrat or a republican, or you’re an independent, we ought to all be demanding accountability and action on the things that are going to impact your future and your children’s future.”
Coburn also underscored that Congress needs to adopt “policies for the future,” and embrace two-way conversations between the public and lawmakers to solve these “very real problems.” To that end, Senator Lankford spoke about his bill to do just that.
