FWD Formula

A Data-Driven Approach to Find Solutions

In the North Carolina Forward Party, we take a different approach to politics…

No Pre-Set Platforms
We don’t dictate a one-size-fits-all platform. Instead, our candidates are empowered to define their own positions, grounded in the needs and priorities of their communities.

Consensus as Strategy
Our role is to ensure that candidate platforms are rooted in consensus, meaning their positions reflect clearly where the majority of voters are on an issue.

Data-Driven Progress
By focusing on consensus-building positions, our candidates are better equipped to create durable legislation or policy that lasts—delivering meaningful progress rather than polarization.

 

 

"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

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

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

 

 

"In North Carolina, Unaffiliated voters outnumber both Republican and Democrat. It’s clear people are tired of not feeling represented by the two major parties – which is why The Forward Formula’s consensus-building approach is urgently needed in our politics today."

— Shelane Etchison, First Independent to Run for Congress in NC, NC-09

"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
 
 

"If you don’t know where to go, go forward. Our people are leading in innovation, and the country is looking to us...as a model."

— Alvarys Santana, Candidate for Concord City Council, District 4

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?
