The New Mexico Forward Party supports independent-minded candidates who are interested in making a difference in their communities while upholding democratic principles.
A Forward Party candidate in the Farmington area will be different from a candidate in the UNM area. What binds our supporters, our members, and our candidates is the ability to bridge party divides, listen to constituents, and commit to the following:
- * Govern according to Forward principles and values.
- * Put community interests above party platform or ideology.
- * Work across party lines to collaborate on solutions.
If these principles describe your political beliefs, we want to talk with you about running for an elected New Mexico office in 2026.

We are Recruiting Candidates for 2026!
.
The New Mexico Forward Party is actively recruiting candidates who want to challenge the dysfunctional two-party system. Our candidates are independent thinkers with new ideas on how to improve life for all New Mexicans. We do not have litmus-test issues that candidates must support. Instead, we have shared values and a commitment to democracy reform, including support for:
- * Open primaries
- * Instant runoff voting or similar voter representation reforms
- * Independent redistricting commissions
- * Free and fair ballot access for all candidates
- * Term limits
Although Forward candidates may not support every one of these initiatives, these approaches are key to building a system that listens to all voters and responds to their needs. Our state organization upholds the Forward Party's national-level principles while setting our state-level party priorities and policy proposals, and endorsing candidates who share our vision.
If you're ready to run for office in 2026, we want to talk with you! Reach out to us at:
