The two major parties may dominate our elections, but voters who aren't tied to either party will help decide who wins in 10 congressional races nationwide. Our votes aren't guaranteed to Republicans or Democrats, and that's where our power lies.

When we put our food system in the hands of a handful of powerful corporations, we put our country's food security at risk. 

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Todd Achilles calls out a system where Big Ag profits while American farmers struggle to get a fair deal.

Money has dominated American politics for decades, but the way we connect with candidates is changing. @adam_brandon explains how podcasts and alternative media are challenging expensive TV ads and creating opportunities for more authentic relationships between voters and candidates.

We're tired of watching Washington accomplish so little, and apparently some members of Congress are tired as well. As @adam_brandon points out, just 2 or 3 Independent victories could convince frustrated Republicans and Democrats to leave their parties.

In closely contested races from Montana to Texas to Georgia, Independent voters have more power than we’re often given credit for. The two major parties may choose their candidates, but it’s our votes that help decide who wins.

Election rules shouldn't favor political parties over voters. When Independent candidates face barriers to getting on the ballot, we're left with fewer choices and less competition.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Todd Achilles raises a question we should all be asking: Why does fixing the national debt always seem to start with spending cuts instead of making sure billionaires and corporations pay their fair share?

We expect competition in business, so why do we accept so little of it in politics? With nearly every seat in Congress held by Republicans or Democrats, it's no wonder we're questioning whether the two-party system gives voters enough choices.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn's position is clear: political parties shouldn't dictate how our elected officials represent us.

A party label doesn't tell the whole story of what we believe or how we vote.

The only party our elected representatives should answer to is the people they represent. That's the message behind Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar's declaration: “Montana is my party.”

Montana is known for its mountains, wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes, not as a place to blow things up. President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Department of War should recognize what we stand to lose when natural beauty becomes a weapons testing ground.

After working in Washington for 20 years, @adam_brandon understands why Americans feel unrepresented by our political system. The frustration that brought voters to Trump reflects a much bigger problem with Washington.

From Idaho to Montana, Nebraska, and beyond, we're seeing Independent candidates challenge the traditional two-party landscape, with Independents appearing on U.S. Senate ballots in 15 states in 2026.

We've reached a point where having the money to run for Congress can matter more than having the qualifications to serve. Independent U.S. Senate candidate Todd Achilles calls out a political system that's increasingly favoring wealth over representation.

What if solving America's biggest problems is bad for political business? In Episode 5 of US Politics Are Broken and How to Fix It, we're exploring how elections can reward politicians for keeping the same fights alive.

As a father of two daughters, Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar brings a personal perspective to reproductive freedom, an issue that affects families across our country. His position has earned support from Planned Parenthood and Reproductive Freedom for All.

Nearly 250 years ago, John Adams warned us about the dangers of dividing our republic into two competing political parties. Looking at where we are today, it's hard to ignore how much of that warning still resonates.

Country over party shouldn't be a controversial idea. Shannon O'Brien says that Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar gives Montana voters a competitive alternative to the usual two-party choices.

Our options with President Trump's war with Iran are narrowing, and none of them look simple. Independent U.S. Senate candidate Todd Achilles warns that reopening the Strait of Hormuz could require American ground troops.
