About Brandon Barrett

I live in Germantown with my family and work as a Data Analyst for a Clinical Research Organization. Growing up in Southern Virginia and moving to Montgomery County, MD after college, my own beliefs were greatly influenced by different environments over time. Like many, I have also felt the impact of our increased polarization on family dynamics. Through these experiences, I’ve recognized the importance of having unique perspectives, respecting others’ differences, and in finding common ground. I am very concerned that our country will become even more divided under two-party control, which I think perpetuates false binary choices of “Left vs. Right” leading to dangerous division. I am hopeful, though, that a path is being built towards a viable multi-party system as logical reforms are enacted throughout our states to improve primary elections and voting methods. I was immediately drawn to the Forward Party with its focus on supporting innovative reforms and its commitment to grace & tolerance and diverse thinking. I am grateful for the opportunity to help build the Forward Party in Maryland, and for being part of a growing movement dedicated to expanding political voice and helping communities thrive.
