Independent voters are now the third force in American politics.

To win, Republicans and Democrats now rely on independent voters to swing their way. Since neither party has enough base support, independent voters are in a powerful position.

It's time we organize.

The Independent Center’s mission is to be the resource hub and champion for the millions of Americans who believe we share common ground.

Through our research, events, and outreach we will highlight, promote, and ensure our politicians are held accountable for their promises to independent voters and all Americans.
