BREAKING: The NM Supreme Court has ruled in favor of @UniteNewMexico and other plaintiffs, reversing a @NMSecOfState decision to allow straight party voting. A BIG win for independent candidates like @ApplewhiteFor50 who are putting #PeopleOverParty

In a largely single-party state like Utah, nonpartisan primaries could give every voter a chance to have their voice heard at every step in the election process — and ensure that all voters get represented on the ballot. #PrimaryProblem #VotersFirst

Today the @UtahDemocrats endorsed independent @EvanMcMullin for Senate to take on Sen. Lee. McMullin: "Today we took an important step in building a new coalition of Democrats, Republicans and independents to change our broken politics.” #utpol

It’s not Team Red vs Team Blue Team Pelosi vs Team Trump Team Us vs Team Them Governing isn’t about wins for your team, and it isn’t a game. Governing is about putting #CountryOverParty and doing what’s best for the American people.

House Leaders consider rules changes because they fear members might a) think for themselves and b) represent their constituents, rather than falling in line. Pelosi said: “We are either a team or we’re not.” Governance shouldn’t be a “team” sport!

NEW from @TheAtlantic & @NickTroiano : Party Primaries Must Go Partisan primaries motivate legislators to keep in lockstep with a narrow slice of the electorate rather than govern in the public interest. Nonpartisan primaries could change that.

Party Primaries Must Go

Partisan primaries motivate legislators to keep in lockstep with a narrow and extreme slice of the electorate rather than govern in the public interest.

🚨 ICYMI: Reps. Greene, Gosar, and Massie are attempting to oust Speaker Johnson. The GOP's razor-thin majority, exacerbated by the #PrimaryProblem , helps explain how three unrepresentative politicians have the power to throw the House into chaos… again 🧵↓

We need to open primaries, end gerrymandering, curb corruption and disrupt the influence of money in our political system. What other ideas to create a better political system to you support?
