“Forward’s momentum keeps growing because people are tired of politics that divide and fail to deliver. Our candidates come from every background and every corner of the country, but they share one goal — to put people ahead of party and make government work again.”
— Forward National Political Director Kayla Berube.
All Forward Party candidates sign a pledge before earning an endorsement, which lays out clear standards for what voters should expect: leaders who listen, treat people with dignity, tell the truth, and put their communities ahead of party politics.
Each Forward candidate commits to protecting democracy and making sure every voter has a real voice. They agree to work across differences, use facts and local input to make decisions, and run campaigns that are positive and respectful. No personal attacks, no culture-war fights, just practical ideas that make life better for the people they serve.
By taking the pledge, Forward candidates are showing that politics can still be about integrity and service. They’re setting a higher bar for leadership, one built on trust, collaboration, and putting people first.
“The Forward Pledge is about bringing decency and accountability back to politics. Every candidate who signs it is making a promise to listen, work with others, and to lead with respect. That’s how we rebuild trust in government and show voters that real leadership still exists.“
— 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.
