Throughout his career, Jason has worked at the intersection of policy and politics. In 2007, with the leadership of former U.S. Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell, he founded the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) to develop and promote bipartisan solutions to the country’s most difficult public policy challenges. Currently, the BPC conducts projects in the areas of energy and climate change, national and homeland security, health care, science and transportation policy. Since 2001, Jason has directed the National Commission on Energy Policy (NCEP). NCEP, now a project of the BPC, has released a number of significant studies and continues to actively advocate for its policy recommendations in Congress and with the Administration. Most recently, NCEP worked with Congress on key aspects of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Prior to joining the Commission, Jason worked for NESCAUM (Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management), a nonprofit association of air quality agencies in the Northeast.
