In 2024, we helped elect 3,287 Independent candidates into local offices across 48 states. Why?Americans - especially young people - have been losing faith in democracy. The rigged, two-party system has turned "Independent" into a dirty word. Voters are trapped between choosing the lesser of two evils or sitting out elections altogether.A majority of eligible voters (over 130M Americans), including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans nor Democrats represent them. But they keep getting re-elected! Whether you're concerned about healthcare costs, wars, the environment, our individual freedoms, or inequality, many great solutions are held back by the dark doom loop of dysfunctional partisan politics. While mainstream media and the two major parties focus on federal elections (Congress and the President), GoodParty.org is building from the bottom up. With over 500,000 elected offices in the United States-70% of which are uncontested-GoodParty.org is powering the movement to reclaim our communities from career politicians. We're helping independents in local and state-level campaigns nationwide.
