Deadline for November Elections

Getting Forwardists into office the point of everything we're doing. That starts by running Candidates. As a minor party, we can run candidates and support them in ways that activist groups cannot. That's why what we're doing is different and important. There are great potential leaders all around us that get so discouraged by our political system that they don't consider public office. We will only change that by adding competition to races at the most local level and working up. 

If you are considering running for office this year, change your voter registration to "None (No Affiliation)" by April 20th.

If you are concerned about what you see coming from our current 2 party system? There is absolutely nothing you can do that will have as much impact this year as running for one of these offices as a Forwardist.
