Welcome to the Texas Forward Party!

I think I can probably guess why you’re here — it’s likely for the same reason I found my way to Forward. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with thousands of Texans who share the same frustrations you and I do: a political system that feels divisive, dysfunctional, and offers far too few real choices. Like you, they’re ready for a change, and that’s exactly why we’re building this movement.

Our mission is clear: to unite Texans from across the political spectrum and create a government that truly represents and serves the people. We know this is no small task. Real change demands collective action and the dedication of countless individuals — especially here in Texas, where the entrenched political establishment has constructed enormous barriers to stifle competition and maintain control over elections.

The Texas Forward Party is committed to breaking down these barriers and building a more democratic, effective, and accountable political system. We welcome everyone, regardless of your political background, to join us in this effort. Together, we can move beyond the old, broken ways of doing things and forge a new path that prioritizes Texans over party politics.

Thank you for visiting our website and for considering how you might be part of this growing movement. We’re glad you’re here. Whether you just want to stay informed, or run for governor, or somewhere in between, we can’t wait to work with you to build a better Texas.
