Our Vision
ACE envisions a political landscape where multiple viable parties representing the diversity of ideas across America can thrive in free and competitive elections.
Mission
ACE strengthens democracy and expands voter choice by building the capacity of multiple political parties and independent movements through campaign training, coalition building, and practical workshops while ensuring election integrity through independent observation.
The Challenge
Americans are exiting the two-party system at a historic rate: 45% now identify as political independents, a record high that surpasses both Democrats and Republicans. Among Gen Z, that number hits 56%. But these voters aren’t apathetic; they’re actively searching for a new political home. Unfortunately, the two-party duopoly has stagnated the political idea space, leaving millions of unaffiliated voters uninspired.
Minor parties and independents hold the solutions but lack the infrastructure to reach these voters and win elections. We’re changing that. We train minor parties to build voter-centered platforms, communicate with trust and clarity, and overcome critical barriers like ballot access, funding, and local organization. The 2026–2028 election cycle is our narrow window to re-engage unaffiliated voters before they disengage from democracy entirely. This is the moment to act.
The Campaign Impact Framework
How it works:
If ACE strengthens minor parties’ shared infrastructure and individual organizational capacity through platform development, campaign training, coalition building, and communications workshops,
​
Then minor parties will:
-
Overcome ballot access barriers through pooled resources and legal training
-
Demonstrate viability to voters and funders by running cohesive, professional campaigns
-
Recruit credible candidates through targeted training pipelines
-
Coordinate strategically across parties to avoid spoiler dynamics and maximize vote-share
-
Communicate clearly to unaffiliated voters, translating 45% independent demand into visible support
​
Ultimately enabling:
-
Competitive campaigns in 50+ House districts, 10+ Senate races, and 100+ state legislative seats by 2032
-
Real electoral wins in jurisdictions adopting ranked choice voting, proportional representation, and open primaries
-
Permanent re-engagement of 34+ million unaffiliated voters who would otherwise disengage from democracy entirely
-
A transformed political landscape where multiple viable parties represent America’s diverse ideas and the two-party duopoly no longer monopolizes the idea space
-
By 2032, ACE will have built the infrastructure for a multiparty democracy that captures the historic wave of independent voters before they quit the system forever.
