About the
Cicero Institute


The Cicero Institute is a nonpartisan policy organization focused on fixing broken systems in the public sector. We develop and fight for policies at the state level that restore liberty, accountability, and transparency in American governance.

Our Issue Areas

healthcare

Healthcare

Healthcare

Americans are spending more than ever on healthcare while getting sicker and dying younger. Medical bills remain our nation’s leading cause of bankruptcy as access to affordable care continues to shrink. Patients and their families need relief. States must look for innovative solutions to this crisis and loosen the stranglehold special interests have on the medical industry.
criminal

Public Safety

Public Safety

Rogue prosecutors flat-out refuse to enforce the law—choosing politics over public safety. This dangerous trend is fueling crime, threatening communities, and creating a culture of lawlessness. Americans deserve better. We need a justice system that enforces the law and demands accountability at every level.
homeless street

Homelessness

Homelessness

The homelessness crisis has become a racket. Government-funded NGOs and activist groups exploit taxpayer dollars to push failed, ideological policies that trap people in addiction and despair. It’s time to end the corruption, hold these groups accountable, and demand real outcomes—safety, dignity, and self-sufficiency.

Education & Workforce

Education & Workforce

The public education system is failing—and it’s no accident. Bureaucrats and unions protect a broken status quo that leaves students unprepared for real life and real work. It’s time to break the monopoly. Students deserve options like course choice, so they can learn what matters.
regulation

Regulatory Reform

Regulatory Reform

The American regulatory regime is broken and costly. Regulations should be thoughtfully developed, carefully targeted, and focused on increasing opportunity instead of reducing it. They also need to be regularly reviewed to ensure they’re necessary. With commonsense regulatory reform, we can empower small businesses, innovators, and citizens to thrive.
