There is no more important action that President-elect Biden could take in his first 100 days than to establish a White House Office for Democracy to launch a series of overdue reforms. Now is the time to make sure that democracy reform is high on the agenda through the establishment of a White House Office focused on the vitality of our democracy led by a Special Assistant reporting directly to the president. Democracy reform took a backseat to putting out the fires of the Great Recession and delivering on an ambitious health care agenda. If there is one lesson that Biden should take away from his previous time in the White House, let it be this: Fix democracy first. Establishing a White House Office for Democracy would be a historic first step.
