What Kind Of Candidate Does The Forward Party
Support?
At Forward, we aim to reduce
partisan polarization and implement electoral reforms. With
Forwardists on the ballot across five states on Tuesday, you may be
wondering what are the qualities and values that the party looks for
in its potential nominees?
Our mission is straightforward: to
break through political gridlock and drive transformative change by
elevating practical, solutions-oriented candidates and incumbents who
reflect the will of the voters, not the partisans. To keep it simple,
we look for leaders who can turn our mission into action. They fall
under three categories.
-
Bipartisan Problem-Solver: Forwardists with a proven track record of breaking through the
gridlock that paralyzes our political system. These candidates have
demonstrable experience in prioritizing practical solutions over
partisan loyalty and have successfully collaborated across the aisle
to address pressing challenges. They have also supported innovative
solutions to some of our biggest problems, backed by experts and
data.
-
Anti-Extremist Challenger: Forwardists who are standing up to extremist candidates and
their divisive ideologies. Unlike general opposition to extremism,
these individuals are or have challenged radical candidates,
advocating for unity and inclusion through their actions and
policies.
-
Democracy Defender:
Forwardists with a demonstrated impact in defending our democratic
systems and values. These candidates have concrete accomplishments in
ensuring electoral fairness and making sure that the outcomes of our
elections reflect the true will of the voting public.
Our candidates sign a pledge to
govern with integrity, and we take this pledge very seriously at
Forward. We believe that having leaders with strong character can fix
a lot of problems in our country.
