"I have 6 children, and my husband works 2nd shift. From the voter information, support network, templates, easy way to send texts…for way less than I thought. Without all that, I wouldn’t be the first female mayor of my city."
Tracy Saunders
Mayor, Port Wentworth, GA
"3,200 votes cast. I won by 73. I don't take donations. My opponent spent $3,000. I spent $675. My campaign committee is just me and my wife. The tools were easy to use, and the data quality was really good."

You Don't Need a Party to Fix a Pothole.
More everyday people are stepping up because local government isn't working the way it should.
The system is stuck. Voters aren't.

Not Being a Politician Is the Best Thing About You
You already have the passion and determination. Now you need a system. On a public-service budget.
Tools, Strategy, and Resources to Help Independents Run a Grassroots Campaign and Become Effective Leaders
Organize Your Campaign
Turn strategy into action with templates, timelines, and tools built on thousands of winning independent campaigns.
Up-to-Date Voter Data
Get detailed voter info for a fraction of what campaigns pay. Know who to reach, where they live, and how to get your message to voters.
Text Voters Directly
Reach hundreds of voters in minutes. No more knocking on doors until 9 p.m. No red tape to tackle, 10DLC complaint, and ready to go.
Survey Residents Fast
Text one question. Get hundreds of responses. Turn real community feedback into accurate, truly representative data. So you can hear every voice, not just the loudest.
Independents use GoodParty.org to become transparent, effective leaders
"All three of the opponents thought they would win because they’re political. I just led with the issues. The canvassing software was really important because I spoke to so many people and got them engaged."
Carol Greenstreet
School board Woodland Park, CO
"I'm not trying to be a career politician. I just want to serve the community and give everybody a voice. I didn’t take donations from anybody. My biggest expenses were literature and digital ads."
Anthony Savage
City Council, Amherst, OH
How It Works
Step 1:
Build Your Strategy
Set up your dashboard, get your custom campaign strategy, and craft your message. Connect with other Independents who have won inside the Grassroots Community.
Step 2:
Launch Your Campaign
Access your campaign templates, set up your website, plan your launch event, and connect with supporters. Build momentum now with imperfect action.
Step 3:
Run & Win
Grab your voter file, organize volunteers, and track progress. With a targeted talking list, a segmented texting campaign, and strategic events, you’ll focus your efforts for impact and votes.
Step 4:
Govern Better
Look beyond the vocal minority and hear honest feedback from every citizen with simple texting outreach. Ask your residents what matters most and make sure every voice is heard, even the quiet ones.
Real wins. Shoestring budgets.
"GoodParty.org wound up being a lot more helpful and cost-effective than I ever thought it would. It would have been a completely different type of campaign and a very different result if I hadn't had access to all the tools and the data."
Marcus Ellison
School Board Member, South Bend, IN
"I've been putting in work for probably two years now, but you also have to have data. The help from GoodParty.org put me over the edge."
Joseph Faulkner
Alderman Fayetteville, TN
"I definitely appreciate being able to use you guys in the 9th or 11th hour. That text blast was a game-changer. I wish I had pulled the trigger sooner, I really couldn't have done it without y'all."
Jennifer Hutchinson
School Board Member Rock Hill, SC
We serve people, not parties
We’re not a political party. We just think politics could use more people in it.
Built for local leaders committed to prioritizing people’s voices over corporate dollars.
GoodParty.org makes free and low-cost tools, training, and support to help regular people run competitive campaigns, win their race, and get the job done.
To Use GoodParty.org, You Need To Be:
People-Powered & Anti-Corruption. Fueled by your neighbors and their needs. If your biggest donor is someone’s grandma, you’re in good company.
Civil & Transparent. You care more about solving problems than scoring points.
Independent. An independent, nonpartisan, or third-party candidate or elected official.
You Probably Won’t Like It Here If:
You’re actively running as a Democrat or Republican in a partisan race
You want party endorsements, money, or protection
Mud-slinging is a favorite pastime
Your campaign budget needs its own finance team
"I don't think I honestly could have done all this on my own. I know I would not have won without you guys. I attribute the win to you guys. It was a great experience."
James Gartner
County Commissioner Emmons County, ND
"The text messaging tool was very effective in tapping in with people and reminding them who you are. Staying front of mind was key."
Marq Hawkins
Mayor California City, CA
