As someone who has spent more than a decade working for the oldest centrist Republican organization in the United States, I admit that we have fought a losing battle for most of this time.
From the rise of the Tea Party in 2010 to the election of Donald Trump in 2016, centrists have largely been relegated to the margins of the Republican political scene content with promoting bromides about the importance of working together while those on the political right win elections and muscle through their priorities on Capitol Hill.
Yet, if you are a centrist, now is not the time to concede defeat. Far from it.
