The Forward Party Endorses Sam Wang for Congress
With 48 hours to go, the national party founded by Andrew Yang formally backs Sam in NJ-12.
The Forward Party has endorsed Sam Wang for Congress in New Jersey's 12th District.
This is the national organization weighing in — building on Andrew Yang's personal endorsement back in March, when he called Sam "my favorite candidate for Congress."
"We share a vision in which Congress works for the people, in which we end gerrymandering," Sam said in his acceptance. "I'm running to save health and democracy for everyone."
Why would a third party endorse a Democratic primary candidate?
Fair question. The answer is Sam's record.
As founder of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, Sam has spent two decades exposing rigged maps. He was central to ending New Jersey's county-line ballot system — the structural reform that finally gave NJ voters a real choice rather than party-boss-picked candidates. Forward's mission is to make Congress work for people instead of parties. That's the work Sam has been doing his entire career.
