The Forward Party began as a national movement to challenge the toxic polarization that dominates our politics. Here in North Carolina, we saw the same extreme polarization and division playing out at the state level. In 2022, a group of independents and former Democrats and Republicans came together to build a new kind of political home—one focused on what unites us.

We’re growing fast, and we're bringing together people from all walks of life who are tired of being told they have to choose between the “lesser of two evils.” We believe it's time to choose something better—the greater good.

FWD Formula

The Forward Formula is our data-driven, solution-focused framework designed to empower candidates to run on issues important to their constituents while advocating for solutions that represent a consensus.

 

 

"When designing the framework, we aimed to develop a process that reflects our values of being both community-centered and data-driven in supporting policy solutions."

— Joshua Peters, Data Scientist & Framer

 

"I was impressed by its level of detail and thoughtfulness."

— Dr. Graham Bullock, Professor of Political Science at Davidson College
 

 

 

"The Forward Formula is crucial for actively involving everyday people in our state and nationwide public policy through effective consensus-building, which we need more than ever."

— Don Davis, U.S. Representative, NC-01

 

"By identifying the policy space that an overwhelming majority of North Carolinians agree will improve conditions across our state, the Forward Formula offers a crucial tool to accomplish the 'fact-based governance' envisioned by our Party founders."

— Dr. Prakash Bhave, Math Lecturer at North Carolina State University

Forwardist Vote Pledge

Will You Support a Forward Candidate?

We’re building a new kind of politics—one that puts people over partisanship and solutions over ideology. As we fight for ballot access across the country, we want to know: Will you stand with us when a Forward candidate is on your ballot?

Pledging your support isn't just about one election—it’s a declaration of independence from the broken two-party system. It’s a stand for political innovation, common-sense leadership, and the reformation our democracy so desperately needs. The future is Forward. Are you in?
