In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital ahead of the launch, President and Executive Director Bourdeaux previewed Concord Action’s plan to pressure Congress to balance the budget.
"We are getting ready to launch Concord Action, which will complement the Concord Coalition and is intended to build on all the grassroots energy out there around the debt and deficit, to try to start moving the needle in Congress to bring fiscal responsibility and fiscal discipline to Washington," Bourdeaux said. Deirdre Heavey is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Bordeaux, who represented Georgia’s 7th Congressional District for one term beginning in 2021, worked on bipartisan legislation to tackle the national budget crisis during her tenure. She was a member of the Blue Dog Task Force on Fiscal Responsibility and Government Reform, a national group that says it's committed to reducing the federal deficit through bipartisan policy development.
