Elections should work for everyone.

Every person qualified to vote, regardless of party or lack of party, should have the right to participate in any election as a voter or a candidate.

We need an even playing field

All candidates (including Independents) have a right to be treated equally regardless of whether they affiliate with a party or not. Any qualified voter should have the right to participate in all elections.
