With midterm gains in the U.S. Congress, Republicans have a new opportunity to pursue a conservative agenda in Washington. Seizing this opportunity are reform conservatives, young policy wonks on the right who want to assert a new agenda for their party and the country. From health-care and education, to taxes and fiscal discipline, these reform-minded thought leaders have come together to draft “Room to Grow,” a conservative manifesto of sorts that is a compilation of 13 essays offering conservative solutions across the policy spectrum. The Institute of Politics is pleased to welcome back former fellow and “Room to Grow” essayist and senior editor of The National Review Ramesh Ponnuru. He is joined by YG Network Policy Director, April Ponnuru, and fellow essayists Yuval Levin and Andrew Kelly. Current IOP fellow and Bloomberg View columnist Megan McArdle is moderating this discussion.
