The foundation\u2019s first new initiative in more than a decade, the Clinton Policy Institute has already begun convening political leaders from both parties, research experts, and Americans affected by the issues being studied to create new approaches to long-existing problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cRising costs, economic uncertainty, rapid technological change, and growing pressures on our public institutions are making it harder for families to get ahead,\u201d former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement to The Associated Press. \u201cWe created CPI because we believe there are still practical, evidence-based solutions that can improve people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

CPI is building on its work with New York state in banning cellphones from schools in the past academic year. Though the institute did not technically exist last year when it teamed with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul\u2019s administration on creating distraction-free schools in the state, the Clinton Foundation saw promise in its approach and decided to expand it before publicly announcing CPI\u2019s creation. It\u2019s a strategy that the foundation, also led by former President Bill Clinton and public health expert Chelsea Clinton, used when it launched the Clinton Health Access Initiative in 2004.<\/p>\n

Zayn Siddique, former principal deputy director of the Domestic Policy Council, will serve as CPI\u2019s chief executive officer. Jennifer Klein, who was director of the White House Gender Policy Council under former President Joe Biden, will be CPI\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n

In New York, CPI helped create the Teen Tech Council so that students could help make the phone-ban program more effective. The result, according to Hochul\u2019s office, was that educators found a marked improvement in classroom behavior and engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cCPI is bringing together policymakers, researchers, business leaders, and community organizations to identify what works, build stronger policy networks, and help turn those ideas into policy,\u201d Hillary Clinton said. \u201cWe\u2019re taking a particular focus on states and local communities, where so much innovation is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly praises CPI\u2019s nonpartisan approach<\/h4>\n

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said a CPI conference on improving the lives of children earlier this month was \u201cthe best roundtable I\u2019ve been involved with since becoming governor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly, who will leave office in January due to term limits after serving two consecutive terms, said she was inspired by CPI\u2019s nonpartisan approach to solving problems affecting children.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI am a Democrat governor in what is considered a very red state,\u201d Kelly told The Associated Press in an interview. \u201cIt became very clear to me that if I wanted to accomplish anything in my political life, I was going to need to do it in a bipartisan way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kelly believes that, despite political polarization, CPI can succeed in finding nonpartisan solutions \u2013 especially to issues involving children and healthcare \u2013 and giving state leaders the research and other support to implement them.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cEvery once in a while, you get people from both sides of the aisle who come together and crafted, maybe not sexy legislation, but something that really needed to be done,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cAnd they get it through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Jerome Adams, former U.S. Surgeon General in President Donald Trump\u2019s first administration, agrees that nonpartisan solutions are possible to find. But he says the nonpartisan nature of the solutions has to be intentional.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth is inherently political,\u201d said Adams. \u201cWhen you talk about access to healthcare coverage, when you talk women\u2019s health issues, particularly around the issue of abortion and contraception, when you talk about drug policy and whether you\u2019re in favor of harm reduction, when you talk of firearm safety \u2014 all of these are inherently political issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Surgeon General Adams sees broad support for children\u2019s issues<\/h4>\n

That is complicated further, Adams said, because \u201cwe live in a country that is very binary, so every issue, no matter how nuanced, is, for purposes of elections, turned into black\/white, yes\/no, all or none.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, Adams said CPI has already found a way to get bipartisan buy-in for some of its solutions to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). In 2020, the state of California launched the ACEs Aware initiative to begin screening for ACEs \u2013 which include abuse, neglect and household challenges \u2013 and treating them early to reduce the impact and the cost to the state later.<\/p>\n

Through CPI, Adams was asked to become the co-chair of the National Leadership Council for the ACE Resource Network in June in an effort to bring California\u2019s work treating ACEs to other states.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very interested in work that has proven and practical solutions,\u201d he said. \u201cWe bring in states and say, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s look at the best evidence in terms of what works around adverse childhood experiences and state level policy and then try to implement it in your state\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

That strategy has led Republican-led states like Utah and Georgia to consider parts of Democrat-led California\u2019s work on the issue, Adams said.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He said it\u2019s a sign that CPI\u2019s approach works and can be expanded to other areas.<\/p>\n

The Clinton Foundation hopes that will be the case.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cToo many people have lost faith that progress is possible,\u201d Hillary Clinton said. \u201cBut across the country, leaders are developing innovative policies that are strengthening families and communities. Those ideas deserve to be shared and scaled.\u201d<\/p>\n
