FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington, DC – The Forward Party today announced a large number of endorsements for the 2025 election cycle, spotlighting a diverse group of candidates committed to solving problems over scoring partisan points. These leaders represent the growing movement of Americans who want pragmatic, solution-driven politicians instead of divisive politics.
This round of endorsements highlights 27 candidates in 10 states across the country, with more
to come in as we build momentum toward the 2025 elections. All Forward candidates are required to sign a pledge prior to receiving support that includes this language about treating everyone with respect and dignity:
“I pledge to approach others with
respect for the dignity that lives in each of us. My policies and campaign will seek to elevate and empower people to seek their unique version of the American Dream. This means running a positive, issues-based campaign with a positive vision for my community, and never engaging in personal attacks or threats, or dehumanizing individuals or groups.”
“Our country deserves leaders who listen first, act boldly, and put the needs of their communities ahead of partisan politics. These Forward candidates exemplify that approach and are ready to make a real difference.“
— Forward National Political Director Kayla Berube.
We take our pledge seriously and will hold these candidates to it. More information on the candidates above and a full, running list of current 2025 Forward-endorsed candidates is here: forwardparty.com/candidates
Forward only endorses leaders who share our core values.
First, bottom-up governance: listening to local communities and giving them real power.
Second, diverse problem-solving: uniting people with different perspectives to deliver real solutions.
Third, accountability and transparency: putting voters ahead of entrenched interests every single time.
“The Forward Party is here to give voters more choices and more power. These candidates are proof that Americans don’t have to accept the broken two-party status quo.“
— Forward National Political Director Kayla Berube
The Forward Party is bringing moderates, conservatives, and progressives together to heal our political divisions, find our shared ground, and create a brighter future for America. Forward Party candidates are accountable to the voters, and they will focus on solutions, not partisan fighting, in order to serve their constituents better.
