What is the Working Families Party?
The Working Families Party is a grassroots political party that stands up for working-class and middle-class families — and wins. We’re not like any other party you’ve heard of.
When you vote on the Working Families Party ballot line, you’re standing with tens of thousands of Working Families voters, calling for an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected, and a democracy in which politicians areaccountable to voters, not big-money donors.
That sounds nice, but how does it work?
Working Families Party members and leaders evaluate the records of all the candidates running, no matter what party they’re from. It’s a unique and democratic process that puts our issues front and center — issues like creating good jobs, making healthcare more affordable, and ensuring quality public schools and fair taxes.
WFP only supports the candidates who will fight — really fight — for hardworking families. When you vote on the Working Families Party line on your ballot, you know you’re voting your values, for candidates who’ve earned the WFP seal of approval. On your Connecticut ballot, you can find candidates like Chris Murphy for US Senate, and the Working Families Party legislative slate on Row C this year.
Does it work?
It sure does. When we stand together, we’re stronger. That’s how we’ve passed paid sick days legislation, helped elect Governor Dan Malloy, and much more. It’s how we’ve stood up to privatization of Social Security and defended Medicare from the 1%.
