Why does GoodParty.org exist, and why do you focus on Independent candidates?

The two major political parties have become corrupted and ineffective. They prioritize power, money, and special interests over real people, using fear, division, and career re-election tactics to stay in control.

This has left millions of voters disillusioned, disengaged, or forced to choose the "lesser of two evils" every election cycle.

GoodParty.org exists to change that.

We believe those free from partisan machinery are the key to fixing democracy. That includes Independent and nonpartisan candidates, as well as those not running as Democrats or Republicans, or from third parties like the Green Party or Libertarians.

We certify and support Independent, anti-corruption, and people-powered candidates who:

• Reject big money and party loyalty

• Focus on solving real problems in their communities

• Serve the people, not the parties

By providing free campaign tools and a growing movement of support, GoodParty.org helps these Independent candidates run and win, busting the myth that voting outside the two-party system is a "wasted vote."

Think of it like Indie Rock or Indie Film: breaking free from the mainstream to create more diversity, more creativity, and more meaningful choice.

We're doing the same thing, but for democracy.
