Whether the idea has to do with politics, policy,personnel or governing style, we're looking for suggestions that are specific and, above all, surprising; something inventive ifslightly far-fetched is better than a pet cause or a well-trod policy proposal. (This exercise doesn't require that you support oreven agree with Trump, but it does require a willingness to engage.)Do you have an idea along these lines that you wish the new president would consider, whether something in economics orotherwise? If so, I'd love to hear, and we can discuss next steps from there. Ultimately, we're aiming to publish a handful ofshort pieces (about 800 words each) as a package of proposals.Many thanks, and please let me know if you have questions.Margy SlatteryDeputy Editor, Politico MagazineHOUSE OVERSIGHT 029084
