Forward CT: Rethinking Democracy with Danielle Chesebrough

Danielle Chesebrough, Statewide Coordinator for Forward CT, joins Lisa Wexler to discuss the Forward Party and its growing presence in Connecticut. She explains the party’s mission to strengthen the democratic process, expand political participation, and give a voice to the large percentage of voters who feel unrepresented. The conversation explores proposed reforms such as open primaries, ranked-choice voting, and the idea of a statewide citizen assembly. Chesebrough also discusses how Forward CT aims to collaborate with other parties, including the Independent party, to create a more functional and responsive political system. Hosted on Acast.
