This weekend I am participating in a fundraiser for the #PennsylvaniaForwardParty.

The goal of the #ForwardParty is to end the extreme polarization in our country. We plan to do this by implementing #OpenPrimaries , #RCV & Ind. re-districting committees.

Any donation you can make would be greatly appreciated. The first $2,000 in donations made this weekend will be matched.

Please use the following link to make a donation. Thank you.

From #BallotPA:

“Our Commonwealth remains 1 of 8 states across the country w/ closed primaries. Last Nov, Nevada passed a ballot measure that brought open primaries. PA should be next.”

In a letter to #RepSolomon, SfBPA #swarthmore chairs call to #RepealClosedPrimaries! Do you agree with them?

Hear from David Thornburgh about how an open primary system in #PA would create a more representative election process while also diminishing polarization.

I just took action to urge my State Representative to repeal PA's #ClosedPrimaries, which bar almost 1.3 million Pennsylvanians from participating each year. You can do the same here:

From the Forward Party:

There are over 500K+ elected positions in the US, and 70% are uncontested...

That's a symptom of an unhealthy democracy.

Let's revamp #LocalElections with electoral reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting & #OpenPrimaries to introduce more competition & strengthen our politics

From #ForwardParty

The constant polarization & lack of progress in the two-party political system is beyond frustrating and unproductive. It's time for politicians to prioritize the needs of the people over their party affiliations. Let's work together to build something new that moves us #Forward
