Today, 12 SC Republicans chose integrity over partisan advantage and blocked a mid-cycle redistricting plan that was designed after voting had already begun. It would have eliminated the state's only majority-Black Congressional district, held by Rep. Jim Clyburn. We commend them for it. Gerrymandering, by either party, is politicians choosing their voters instead of letting voters choose them. Forward encourages more politicians to step up and protect voters' rights.

Big momentum coming out of this weekend’s Forward Independence State Convention. We’re proud to announce our newest endorsed candidates for 2026. These leaders are committed to independent thinking, practical solutions, and putting constituents ahead of party politics. Congratulations to: • Mike Krachmer for reelection as Vadnais Heights Mayor • Monique Doward for State Senate, District 11 • Guy Sanschagrin for reelection to the Shorewood City Council • Peter Erickson for Cloquet Mayor • Maria Tran for Mayor of Brooklyn Park These candidates represent exactly what Forward Independence is building: leadership focused on collaboration, accountability, and getting things done. The movement for a better alternative to the broken two-party system is growing across Minnesota. This is just the beginning.

Americans aren't the enemies of other Americans. We're not the problem. The system is the problem. Reject the politics of manufactured division and join us in our mission to fix the system.

Solid work, Chairwoman @SenStabenow. 💯 This is a positive step towards a bipartisan Farm Bill, including my priorities to: ✅Protect mushroom farmers ✅Research spotted lanternflies ✅Support urban agriculture Best part: we're protecting + modernizing SNAP.
The Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act provides a strong, bipartisan path forward to get the Farm Bill across the finish line. It makes investments to support our farmers, helps hardworking families make ends meet & improves the quality of life in rural communities.

Candidates spent more than $170 million dollars to convince just 0.3% of voters that we should have a Trump/Biden rematch in one of the least competitive election seasons we've ever seen. It's time for a better system with better choices. npr.org/2024/01/12/122434800…
