John --
What a year it’s been! Thanks to your
dedication, the Forward Party has made incredible strides in 2024.
Together, we’ve shown what’s possible when people come together to
demand something better from our politics.
Here’s a quick look at what we’ve
accomplished this year - after all, a picture is worth a thousand
words.
What’s Next?
2024 was just the beginning. Here’s how
we’re keeping the momentum going in 2025 and beyond:
-
Expanding State Support: We’re growing our teams,
training leaders, and building infrastructure in even more
states.
-
Recruiting More Candidates: We’re doubling down on
finding incredible leaders who can bring Forward’s values to every
level of government.
-
Sticking to Our Strategy: We’re staying focused on
building from the ground up. No shortcuts, no cults of
personality—just real solutions for real people.
Reform Had A Tough Election
Night, But We Are Fighting Back
Well, we've got two pieces
of great news for you.
First, just
last night, the
repeal of Final Four voting in Alaska shifted and the votes for
keeping this must-have reform are now winning! Because of how
large the state is, Alaska takes up to 15 days to count all of its
ballots from across the state. The vote to repeal the Final Four
reform had been winning, but the voters who want to keep the reform
have been gaining ground steadily since election day. Last night, with
just 7,800 votes left to count in the state, the "keep" votes pulled
ahead by just 192 votes.
Second, four
days, ago two members of the House of Representatives, Marie
Glusenkamp Perez (D-WA 3) and Jared Golden (D-ME 2), introduced a bill
(H.Res 1573) to create a Select Committee on Election Reform. The
committee would meet for the duration of one year and finish with the
publication of a report and set of recommendations on the following
topics:
- Multi-member districts
- Electoral reforms like RCV or Cumulative
voting
- Open Primaries
- Independent Redistricting
commissions
- Adjusting the members of the House of
Representatives
Should this committee form, it would be
an enormous win for reform advocates everywhere! You can read
the full text of the bill here.
Forward is pushing into 2025 ready to
keep building the party America needs. Every dollar helps ensure that
Forward can reach the Americans like you who are ready for something
new. Can you chip in today to help?
This party is only as strong as the
people in it—so thank you for everything you’ve done to make this year
a success. Let’s keep moving Forward, together.
With Thanks,
The Forward Party
