Independents are winning close to home
Independent and nonpartisan candidates from District of Columbia and across the country have run without major parties, won, and are now holding office.

“School board is nonpartisan. I don't believe politics should be in school. Of the thousands of people I met, only three cared about party lines when it came to school board.”

“I won as an independent against a person with a very well-recognized family name. I beat that person by about 12%, and the candidate that the Republicans endorsed came in dead last.”

“We just didn't feel like it takes a Republican or Democrat to decide if we should fix potholes or repave our roads. It's just people doing things for their community.”
