Former Senator Joe Manchin is launching a bold new political movement to fix America’s broken election system—by pushing for open primaries and empowering independent candidates. He argues that most congressional races are decided before voters even get to choose, and wants to change that by letting the public pick top contenders who then compete in general elections with majority support. Leading the charge with his daughter, Manchin has founded the Independent Leadership Council—not to create a new party, but to support principled, non-partisan leaders who can work across the aisle. Though he won’t run again, his mission is to build the infrastructure for a more representative democracy where elected officials reflect the will of the people, not just party loyalists.
