"The Forward Party is fighting for a system where the rules are fair, leaders answer to all their voters (not just party insiders), and primaries don’t reward the extremes. Partisan gerrymandering and closed primaries are two of the main tools the major parties use to protect their turf."

These two are in it to make a difference for constituents and communities, and they embody what our democracy needs more of at this very critical time. Give them a look and get ready to vote!

They are committed to transparency in politics and problem solving for constituents. They bring a wealth of experience and drive to build a better system, and we are excited to see voters put them to work!

Take a look.

The government shutdown is now causing delays in air travel and possibly safety issues as well.

This is not what people voted for. And they shouldn’t have to. It’s time for better options.

The current government funding crisis is becoming a normal feature of our politics.

Flash back to years ago when Ted Cruz held up a CR and caused a funding crisis over some of the same issues driving today’s situation, says Lindsey Drath, Forward CEO.

This isn’t what a healthy system looks like.

For everyone worried about the impact of the government shutdown, don't worry: construction of the White House ballroom will continue.

Priorities...

It's funded by private donations. If that feels concerning to you, we feel it too.

Lindsey explains our pledge and more on @fox5dc.com.web.brid.gy.

Both have our strongest backing--both consider themselves true problem solvers, and that's what Forwardists do: They solve problems.

We couldn't be more excited. Get to know these two and be ready to vote!

Take a look, Colorado!

Robyn Carnes is running for reelection to Centennial City Council (District D), and we want to give you a chance to meet her.

She exemplifies Forward values and is in office for one reason: to serve her constituents in a city she loves.

We feel the concern too, but we disagree: This crisis can be overcome. The path out of it runs through building a system that creates incentives to compromise rather than rewards for crisis.

We are building that system.

In a remarkable turn for a country historically known for its optimism, Americans now believe the crisis of division cannot be overcome--a crisis within a crisis.

American voters should shut down the careers of politicians who accepted this shut down.

At a time when many elected officials are shutting down the government and doing the wrong things, it’s important to stay focused on electing those who will do the right things.

Bucks County, PA, meet Danny Ceisler, whom we are proud to support for sheriff.

Get ready to vote!

Congress’s #1 job is to keep the government running. Instead, we’re stuck in another shutdown.

Families pay the price while politicians play partisan political games.

There is a government shutdown. We must do better.

Well, this is really gross.

All Forward candidates sign a pledge that includes never engaging in personal attacks or threats or dehumanizing individuals or groups.

Wish that were the norm, not the exception, for politics these days.
