Our Values

Living Our Pledge!

We ask all candidates to sign a pledge to commit to these values. You can find that pledge here!

Work Together, Not Against

Forward strives for collaborative solutions. We'll make sure they work, and try something else if they don't.

Bottom-Up, Not Top-Down

Forward empowers leaders to find solutions that work in their communities. We won't dictate a rigid, top-down policy platform and expect it to work for all Americans.

All Are Welcome - Left, Right or Center

Forward is creating a political home for everyone willing to set aside the partisan extremes and find practical ways to make this country better.

More Listening, Less Talking

Forward is asking what we can do for your community. We will not ask what your community can do for us.

Grace and Tolerance

Forward believes in approaching one another with grace and tolerance, finding ways to pick people back up rather than knock them down.

Diverse Thinking Isn't Just Welcome, It's Required

Forward welcomes new ideas and fearless conversations around the issues of the day. We won't silence debate or refuse to adapt to the modern world.
