Our statement on the Government Shutdown impacting Virginians: "A government shutdown is not a show of strength or principle. It is partisan politics getting in the way of good government — and in Virginia, the cost is especially high..." READ: www.virginiaforwardparty.com/virginia_for...

NEWS: Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by a grand jury, just days after Trump demanded the DOJ prosecute him “now” and fired the prosecutor who refused to bring the case

Imagine, a country where former presidents can be prosecuted and held to the same legal standards as citizens.

When more than 75% of people think the country is in a crisis, THAT alone is a crisis. The need for change is real. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

We are not seeking to build merely a new party. We are building a new system. One of many parties and many voices. Focused on representing all voters and on solving problems in our communities. People, not politics.

When people no longer have only their own opinions but also their own “facts,” you know it’s time for change.

ICYMI!

ENDORSEMENTS! We are excited to announce the first of many! First up: Two Virginia candidates. Kristin Farry is a problem solver running to represent ALL in House District 72. She has a stunning breadth of real-world experience and eagerness to build bridges that would change the game.

Democracy means debate, not destruction. Violence is never the answer.

Violence isn’t the answer.

Labels frequently are divisive, but there is one that should unite us: “American.” At the end of the day, we are all in this together. It’s helpful to pause sometimes and remember that.

The American Melting Pot owes its vitality to so many. To all of us. This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor our vibrant Latino community. Considering joining the Hispanic & Latino Committee and help us propel democracy Forward: home.forwardparty.com/hispanic_com...

These leaders--27 of them from 10 states--represent the growing movement of Americans who want pragmatic, solutions-driven politicians instead of divisive politics. And, yes, there are more to come.

***WAVE OF ENDORSEMENTS*** You keep pushing us to do more, and we're going all in. The endorsements, each of each we will highlight over the coming days, are a diverse group of candidates committed to solving problems over scoring partisan points.

Join Us Tomorrow, September 15, 2025, 6:30PMEDT. REGISTER HERE: www.virginiaforwardparty.com/town_hall_se...

Today is a somber day for America. The 24th anniversary of the #911 terror attacks on New York City and the Pentagon. And in light of the tragic murders of MN State Delegate #MelissaHortman & her husband, and now conservative activist #CharlieKirk, we must find a way to talk to one another. Civilly.
