'''New Consensus''' provides the theoretical backbone for the [[Green New Deal]].
According to E&E News: {{quotebox“A policy group is being formed to support an energized progressive movement that’s taken Capitol Hill by storm under the leadership of Rep.-elect [[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]] (D-N.Y.). It’s called the New Consensus. The [[501c(3)]] nonprofit is in the process of being formed to provide a policy platform that will underpin the ambitious—and increasingly politically popular—Green New Deal aimed at weaning the [[United States]] off [[fossil fuels]], boosting renewables and clean energy jobs, and building a ‘smart’ grid.
Front and center will be [[Rhiana Gunn-Wright]], a 29-year-old Yale graduate and Rhodes scholar who will serve as the group’s policy director working to flesh out details of the plan.“<ref>https://www.eenews.net/stories/1060107485</ref>}}
Gunn-Wright was a policy team intern for former first lady [[Michelle Obama]]. In 2018, she served as policy director for the [[far-left]] Abdul El-Sayed in his unsuccessful gubernatorial run in [[Michigan]]. Gunn-Wright put together a “uniquely comprehensive suite of policy proposals, including a commitment to establishing a $15 minimum wage; tuition-free college for Michiganders with family income under $150,000; aggressive criminal justice reform; and the most detailed state-level [[single-payer]] health care plan ever,” according to ''[[The Intercept]]''.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2018/08/03/abdul-el-sayed-bernie-sanders-michigan/</ref>
