Peter,
The midterm election is just four weeks from today. The stakes are high and the future of our democracy is on the line. With this in mind, the Forward Party is proud to begin rolling out its first slate of endorsed candidates.
Today, we are announcing our endorsements for the United States Senate: Mark Kelly (D) in Arizona, Evan McMullin (I) in Utah, and Lisa Murkowski (R) in Alaska. These are three candidates who disagree on plenty but share our common concern for protecting democracy and moving our nation forward.
 
When considering candidates to endorse, the Forward Party took a truly unique approach that reflects our commitment to ground-up, collaborative politics. We convened a Candidate Working Group composed of National HQ staff, advisors to the party, and grassroots leaders from across the country, elected to their position via a Ranked-Choice Vote by their peers. The working group selected candidates who are:
- Committed to working to reform our elections and strengthen our democracy.
- Dedicated to working across any divide to get things done for their constituents and their country.
These three Senate candidates from across the political spectrum are the embodiment of those ideals. In the future, you will see candidates running under the Forward banner, but for now, we want to make sure that the broad coalition of good leaders committed to free people, thriving communities, and a vibrant democracy receive our recognition and support.
Be on the lookout in the coming days for our announcement of endorsed candidates for the U.S. House as well as state and local offices across the country. But for today, please check out these great candidates, consider giving them support, and on November 8th, we can begin the work of moving the United States Senate Forward.
Thanks,
The Forward Party
