The Council will host a discussion about political polarization, democratic participation, and foreign policy with the Forward Party. Christine Todd Whitman, former New Jersey State Governor, will moderate the panel of members of the Party.

“Formed in 2021, the Forward Party’s goal is to build a new home for independent voters who are sick of partisan fighting and want to elect leaders who will drive towards common sense solutions. The Forward Party is building from the ground up, starting with state and local races. There are over 500,000 elected positions in this country, and over 70% are uncontested. The Forward Party is going to bring more voices and better choices to these voters.” - Lindsey Williams Drath, Forward CEO
