(WASHINGTON, D.C.) The Millennial Action Project (MAP), an organization that works directly with the nation’s leading young policymakers to spur bipartisan legislation and innovative policy solutions at the national and state level announced today that Senator Bill Bradley joined its Advisory Board. As a member of the Advisory Board, Bradley will grow MAP’s involvement with congressional leadership and provide mentorship for millennial leaders across the country. Working with lawmakers, MAP has advanced legislation on issues including entrepreneurship, technology, 21st century skills training, veterans’ employment, immigration, volunteerism, and more – including the introduction of the first bipartisan legislation on social impact bonds.

“I’m thrilled that MAP will have its first Olympic gold medalist on our Advisory Board—and one of the most distinguished public servants to ever serve in Congress,” said Steven Olikara, Co-Founder and President of Millennial Action Project. “Senator Bradley will be an exemplary mentor to millennial legislators as they work to reestablish political cooperation and break through partisan gridlock, and I am grateful for his support.”

Senator Bradley joins the MAP Advisory Board after a distinguished career in public service, having served for nearly 20 years in the U.S. Senate representing New Jersey. Senator Bradley is also a distinguished author, Olympic gold medalist, NBA Basketball Champion, and radio show host. Most recently, Senator Bradley served as a managing director at Allen & Company LLC.

“The Millennial Action Project is one of the most promising efforts in the nation, bringing together the next generation of lawmakers across party lines. Because of them, I hope that we will build consensus on the most pressing issues of our time. I’m excited to join their Advisory Board.” said Senator Bill Bradley.
