The Bipartisan Issues Group

Last fall, students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison founded the Bipartisan Issues Group or the BIG. While the founding members were of opposing political parties, we found that we were each distraught over the important issues our elected officials have failed to resolve. Therefore, it is our responsibility to become agents for change to formulate solutions to the problems before our generation.

Members of the BIG have been flown to New York and Washington D.C. to speak with national leaders such as Newark Mayor Corey Booker, former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, and Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan to ensure Millennials have a seat at the negotiating table. We have hosted events that have been featured by local and national news organizations.

The group is now on three campuses and we are quickly continuing our expansion. If you are interested in founding a chapter, I would like to talk about the next steps with you. Please email me, Alex Holland, cofounder and chairman of the Bipartisan Issues Group, at themadisonbig@gmail.com.
