At its core, the Reform Party is made up of concerned Americans, tired of the partisan rancor in government and a two-party system that appears committed to putting its support for the special-interests ahead of finding common-sense solutions designed to solve our most pressing challenges.
The people of the Reform Party are former Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and Republicans, who are coming together to form a viable political organization that can best represent both the will and the needs of the American people.
Unlike other reformist organizations, the Reform Party is a political party and not a political action committee that supports candidates from other political parties. The Reform Party (nationally and through state parties) nominates and runs its own candidates to oppose the political institutions that continue to mismanage our government.

Blake Ashby
Blake Ashby is the candidate that can change the debate. A dynamic speaker with a
gift for capturing the essence of a problem, Blake was angry enough with the Bush
Administration that he ran as a protest candidate in the 2004 Republican Primaries;
His harsh appraisal of the dangers of the Administration’s economic policies have
unfortunately proven to be true. Twenty years ago he co-authored a book on U.S.
History and the evolution of Liberalism that anticipated the challenges now facing
our country.
