Issue One is a national political reform organization that works to unite Republicans, Democrats, and independents around the goal of a democracy that works for everyone. It pursues this aim through expert research, policy advocacy, and nonpartisan public education, targeting the defense of democratic processes, reducing the influence of big money in politics, strengthening ethics and accountability, and promoting good governance. Its focus areas include elections and election administration, disinformation, dark money, congressional reform, and social media harms. Based in Washington, DC, Issue One is led by a team that includes former members of Congress, governors, cabinet officials, and election administrators, alongside leaders from philanthropy and media. It is a mid-sized organization staffed to address national political reform challenges. A recent development includes launching a monthly series on November 6, 2025 to highlight the people and organizations that uphold constitutional values and the rule of law.
