John Delaney represented Maryland in the US House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019. In 2017, he launched a bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Before running for Congress, he co-founded two publicly traded companies focused on making loans more readily available for small businesses. Today, he discusses the need for bipartisanship at this uniquely divisive and difficult moment in American history.
As awful as the current crisis is, John Delaney believes it will produce positive developments, even if they require painful changes in the process. He believes that the impact that No Labels can cultivate, especially on economic and healthcare policies, is vital to that transition. Among the changes he envisions are the digitization of many common practices, internet commerce, and the rise of telehealth, which he says had previously been prevented by what he claims are unnecessary regulations.
