Applying the Principles of Federalism Across Policy Issues

Federal agencies have increasing influence over state and community self-governance. Much of it occurs behind the scenes, without the awareness or approval of our elected representatives. State Policy Network’s Center for Practical Federalism has developed a Federalism Scorecard and other resources to identify where unelected federal officials exert undue influence over state governance and to identify practical policy solutions for states and communities to change this. This session will highlight what leaders are doing to strengthen self-governance in their states and communities.

Session participants include:

Tony Woodlief, Senior Executive Vice President, State Policy Network

Cameron Sexton, Speaker, Tennessee House

Steve Johnson, Fellow, Center for Practical Federalism, State Policy Network

John Hood, President, Pope Foundation
