The Forward Party’s 2025 Endorsement Rollout Has Begun

The wait is over! We officially kicked off our 2025 endorsement season last week. With early voting about to begin in Virginia, we’re hitting the ground running by announcing our backing of two leaders who embody everything the Forward Party stands for in their candidacy for Virginia House of Delegates: Kristin Farry (District 72) and Brandon Givens (District 11). Kristin and Brandon both are campaigning to reject the extremes, focus on solutions, and put people over party politics.  View their endorsement announcement here.

If you’re ready to help power this movement, step up today! The Forward Party of Virginia is hosting a virtual town hall on Monday, September 15 at 6:30 PM where you can hear from the two amazing candidates above and other Forward leaders in the commonwealth. To learn more on how to participate click here. 

We’re building real momentum, and Virginia is just the start. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be rolling out MORE Forward-endorsed candidates from across the country. These are leaders who will fight for common sense, collaboration, and a future that works for everyone. 

👉 Check out the growing list of endorsed candidates here: forwardparty.com/candidates
