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

“Open your eyes to what government really is in your community: how it works, who the people are.”

“After the 2016 election, I started to look at how I can contribute back to my community in a different way. Ultimately, as I know that many women are, I was recruited to run for office.”
“[GoodParty.org] is definitely behind independents, trying to take the dark money out of politics. I thought that was cool and a great idea. The two-party system is imperfect, but for there to ever be a change, someone is going to need to do what you guys are doing.”
