NEW: Sen. Daniel Thatcher, the Forward Party’s lone member in the Utah legislature, announces he’ll resign before the next session. Typically, party delegates pick a replacement to serve the remainder of a term. But the party says it’s working on something different with details soon. #utpol #Utah

Credit where credit is due. Moore was a supporter of redistricting reform in Utah before he was elected to Congress. Thanks for speaking out, Representative, against the Texas gerrymander power grab. We need to acknowledge and openly support Republicans who stand up to their tyrannical party leader.

If you're in Utah and curious about getting involved with the Forward Party, join us tonight! www.utahforwardparty.org/allhands_202...

The teens and I finished Andor this week. That show should be required viewing for anyone in the Trump era.

This shocks the conscience. The horrors happening *right now* at American detention facilities will take some time to be fully understood. This is what happens when we put people in charge who lack basic decency. This cannot be who we are.

This is pretty great! #forwardparty

Does the right think they can say anything and their followers will just believe them? Are they right?

This is infuriating. A man is dead today because apparently a bad guy with a gun charged into a crowd and a good guy with a gun tried to stop him.

Let's go! 3,500 people in the heart of Utah County? Yes, please! No kings for us!

Looks like a good candidate for the @fwdparty.bsky.social ticket! #ForwardParty

The bigger the challenge, the bigger the solution. Fixing our democratic system involves big challenges. Join us as we work on big solutions. #MondayMotivation

Forward Party state conventions are celebrating the growth of this party all over the country! 1/x

The Forward Party state convention in Utah last week was a blast. Thanks to @govwhitman.bsky.social for joining us!! Get a flavor here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w2M...

Prominent Utah political journalist Bryan Schott gave us 10 minutes on his podcast yesterday, covering our convention and a sit-down with Governor Christine Todd Whitman! Give it a listen. Forward Party content starts around 50:15 www.utahpoliticalwatch.news/podcast-more...

The United Utah and Utah Forward political parties voted to merge over the weekend, with Michelle Quist as the new party chair. Technically, the Utah Forward party will dissolve, and the United Utah party will change its name to be the Forward Party, buff.ly/KOdXNBh #utpol

Quite a few articles relating to the United Utah and Utah Forward Party merge from Saturday. Check them out! #utpol www.kuer.org/politics-gov...

Delegates from the United Utah Party and Utah Forward Party approved a merger between the two political parties on Saturday, in what is believed to be a first in Utah history.

ICYMI: United Utah, Forward Party merge after first-of-its kind vote. Up next? A new name #utpol utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/04/28/u...

It's official. United Utah and Utah Forward parties have voted to merge. #utpol Leaders of Utah’s new centrist party — which will be named by the national Forward Party — say it’s a place for Utahns who feel unrepresented by ‘extreme’ partisan politics. utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/04/28/u...

Have you ever thought about running for office but weren't sure what it entailed or how to get started? Or maybe you have decided to run and would like a Forward Party endorsement.

For those who are skeptical that the Forward Party can "take on" the major parties.

My only qualm with @schotthappens.com's coverage here is that despite being small parties by voter registration, Forward and UUP combined are already the *largest* 3rd party in Utah when measured either by the number of candidates run last year or the number of votes earned.

Thought this was a pretty good write-up of our Forward Party/United Utah Party Convention today!

I’m here at the combined United Utah Party and Utah Forward Party state convention to vote on officers and the party merger. Do you know what we aren’t doing? Fighting over approving the agenda. Come join a party that works! #utpol

Enjoyed speaking at the Utah Forward Party Convention today!

Good to see @schotthappens.com at our Utah Forward Party Convention. Great thread on the proceedings (including my speech!)

If you're interested in reasonable, responsible politics or fixing the system with us, you're invited tomorrow! The Forward Party and United Utah Party are coming together and movement will get a fresh new start!

News from the Utah Forward Party. Looking forward to working with you, @michellequist.bsky.social! www.deseret.com/politics/202...

If you're following the rise of the Forward Party, make sure to follow this feed. It's fun to see the efforts of the various state parties as well as the growing awareness of Forward around the country in people's mentions. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Want to feel hope again for our political future? Get involved with the Forward Party. Seriously. In North Carolina, Utah, or whatever state you're in.

Most states feel like a one-party state right now. That's where the Forward Party shines.

The two-party system is broken. The United Utah Party and the Utah Forward Party are joining forces to create a stronger, united front against our broken system. Join us! ⏰ WHEN: April 26, 9AM-2:30PM (free lunch) 📍WHERE: 4600 S Redwood Road, Salt Lake City #utpol

We've got a lot of work to do in the Forward Party to earn trust and show that we're not just somebody's vanity project, a protest party, or otherwise part of the problem. I think we can be better than what's come before, but people have every right to be skeptical.

Democrats should call Republicans' bluff and help change the constitution to allow for a 3rd term. Then in 2028 they can run 67-year-old Barack Obama against an 82-year-old Donald Trump. 👊

This is a seriously exciting development. On top of getting our first Utah State Senator, this merger positions the Forward Party as THE driving force in centrist politics in Utah!

HUGE NEWS! Utah Forward Party and United Utah are set to merge into one powerful force for solutions-focused politics that puts the people of Utah first. If ratified at the Convention on 4/26, UUP will officially become part of Forward's nationwide movement www.utahforwardparty.org/press_releas...

Exciting! Jolly has been involved in the Forward Party since the beginning - Florida should go the Utah/Nebraska route and have Democrats decline to run a candidate so a centrist can have a 1:1 shot vs the Republican

After Trump II, America must walk a new path: 🗳️ upgraded #democracy 🗳️ ⬇️ 🤝 problem-solving politics 🤝 ⬇️ 🏛️ renewed institutions 🏛️ ⬇️ 🚀 Effective solutions 🚀 @fwdparty.bsky.social is fighting for this NOW. Join us! home.forwardparty.com/join?recruit...

This is the weaponization of government against an entire political party, a gross First Amendment violation based on people’s political speech and affiliations, in order to turn the United States into a de facto one-party autocracy.

Wonder how many could find a home with the Forward Party if we weren’t force fed the lie that we have no choice but the ‘lesser of two evils’ in a two party system our whole lives.

Worth thinking more about the implications of this story. Forward is an increasingly viable home for those who don't see themselves represented in the major parties.

A sitting senator in Utah has joined the Forward Party, breaking from the Republican Party. Leading the charge!

Utah Sen. Daniel Thatcher, who has been a Republican since he joined the Senate in 2011, is leaving the party and joining the Utah Forward Party, making him the first third-party lawmaker in the Legislature in decades. This kind of party switching is rare.

Hope it becomes a trend Utah senator announces he’s leaving the Republican party, joining Utah Forward Party: ‘I don’t have to be part of the crazy-making anymore,’ Sen. Dan Thatcher of West Valley says. Stay optimistic, fight fight fight. Don't let the bastards bring you down.

“Guess what, I don’t have to be part of the crazy-making anymore.” Instead, he said he’ll be joining the Utah Forward Party — a centrist party that has the slogan “Not left. Not right. Forward.” www.yahoo.com/news/utah-se...

This is a good sign as I don't think our country can begin to heal and unite until politically conservative Americans have a new party that can replace the Grand Old Party. Former Republican Utah state Senator Dan Thatcher is joining the Forward Party.

Senator Daniel Thatcher was an Utah Republican. He's has enough of the divisive policies of Republicans and formally left the party to join the Utah Forward Party. Their mantra is "not left, not right, but forward". What do you think?
