Our Mission

Ballot access for the commonsense majority.

The No Labels Party of Arizona exists for one core reason: to give independent-minded Arizonans a real path onto the ballot. Not a protest vote. Not a spoiler. A recognized party where candidates can run without being forced to the extremes.

Why we exist

The barrier was never the voters. It was the signatures.

42,000+

Signatures an independent statewide candidate needed in 2024 just to appear on the Arizona general election ballot — an all-but-impossible bar for anyone without institutional money behind them.

~1,500

Signatures a candidate needs under a recognized party to qualify for the 2026 primary. Same candidate. Same ideas. A door that finally opens.

“This change democratizes elections. We're creating a space where candidates can run without being forced to extremes, and where voters can finally have a real say in who represents them.”
Paul Johnson, former Phoenix Mayor

A party for the majority

For decades, voters have been forced into a false choice between two entrenched parties that prioritize loyalty over progress. We're not defined by rigid partisanship — we're defined by shared principles most Arizonans already hold.

Not the extremes

Candidates aren't asked to agree on every issue. They're asked to sign a pledge committing to open primaries and to work respectfully across party lines — a return to the spirit of cooperation that once defined American leadership.

What unites us

We Believe

🇺🇸

We Believe in America

We love America and see no other nation in history that has done more for human progress. We reject the politics of grievance and pessimism, and hold a profound optimism about the great cause we call America.
