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

“I never thought I'd get into politics. Once COVID happened and I saw nationwide what was happening — the partisan politics at play — I couldn't recognize who we were, so I decided to run.”

“I really like the premise of GoodParty.org and the fact that you guys help out candidates in a nonpartisan way.”

“Judges should be completely nonpartisan and impartial. We have got to get judges in there that will do the right thing, even when it's hard, and that's who I am. That's what I represent, and that's what I'll be moving forward. I am beholden to no one other than the people who vote me in.”
