We're seeking 2026 candidates for the PA State House! Run for office with us.

How We Win in 2026

We've been building a foundation for 4 years. Now 2026 is our time to seize the moment... and the road to change is through the PA State House. There are 203 State House seats, with a margin of only ONE seat between Republicans and Democrats!

State House seats are often filled by party loyalists with no connection to their constituents. We can change that! All across the state, there are potential leaders who could run for these offices and win. The system is built to keep them out, but the Forward Party is built to let them in. Help us help them. Together, we can move Harrisburg Forward.

What makes a great candidate?

• Connection to their community
• Clear communication of their ideas
• A collaborative, solution-oriented mindset
• Addressing local issues (state and community)

Where can Forwardists win?

• Uncontested races (nearly 50% in PA)
  where no one is running against the incumbent
• Districts that aren't competitive (nearly 75% in PA)
  because the same party always wins
• Anywhere that local issues aren't being addressed by the people in charge
