Why It Matters

The Bipartisan Policy Center Action Inc. is positioning itself at the center of Congress’s most pressing policy challenges. The organization is advocating on four interconnected crises: a 7.1 million affordable home shortage, a $122 billion annual economic drain from child care unaffordability, energy permitting bottlenecks threatening grid capacity, and ongoing Medicare and Medicaid reform. BPC Action’s strategy leverages its bipartisan team—former chiefs of staff, legislative directors, and committee experts from both parties—to advance solutions during a rare moment of genuine legislative consensus on these issues.

By the Numbers

Bipartisan Policy Center Action Inc. spent $840,000 on in-house lobbying in Q3 2025, deploying an 11-person team across housing, healthcare, energy, immigration, and family support issues.

The organization has filed 66 in-house lobbying disclosures since 2009, with total in-house expenditures exceeding $32.5 million. BPC Action supplements internal efforts with external firms including Fierce Government Relations, Forbes Tate Partners LLC, and Penn Hill Group.

The core team includes:

The Agenda

Healthcare work focuses on Medicare and Medicaid reform, rural health access, and behavioral health—reflected in bills like the H.R. 3080 – Health Care Fairness for All Act.

Between The Lines

Congress is actively debating nearly every issue BPC Action is lobbying on this quarter. The organization pushes housing supply measures while lawmakers advance the ROAD to Housing Act of 2025. On child care, a BPC witness testified before Congress on workforce impacts, aligning with bipartisan legislative momentum from senators Bennet and Britt.

Energy permitting reform is seeing genuine bipartisan engagement, with Senator Capito expressing optimism about finding common ground while the Problem Solvers Caucus endorsed a reform framework.

The Bottom Line
