Washington doesn't represent you. Here's how to change that.

Common Ground mobilizes America's Forgotten Majority to demand the changes most of us already agree on — and uses the primary system to hold every elected official accountable.

The Problem Isn't Left vs. Right

The problem isn't Republicans. The problem isn't Democrats. The problem is a system that rewards extremism and punishes moderation.

Over decades, elected officials have made themselves less and less accountable to the public and more and more accountable to small, extreme factions — ideological donors, political activists, and special interests on both sides.

The result is a Congress that reflects the loudest 20% of the country while ignoring the remaining 80%.

Politicians who compromise lose their primaries. Politicians who perform outrage keep their seats. Common Ground changes the incentives — by showing up in the primaries where the real decisions get made, and supporting candidates from either party who are willing to govern for everyone.

What We Stand For

Every policy we support has supermajority support across party lines. These aren't left-wing or right-wing positions. They are the positions of the American mainstream.

of U.S. House seats are decided in the primary, not the general election.

Yet primary turnout is typically under 20%. A small number of voters are choosing your representative — and you could be one of them.

How It Works

1

Know the Platform

Read what we stand for. Every policy has supermajority support across party lines. This isn't left or right — it's what most Americans already want.

2

Find Your Primary

Enter your zip code. See your district, your candidates, your primary date, and exactly how much power your vote carries in the election that actually decides your representation.

3

Make Your Voice Heard

Vote in the primary that matters most in your district. Support candidates who support common-sense policies — regardless of what party they belong to.

The Forgotten Majority is not powerless. It is simply unorganized.
Common Ground is the organization.
