NJ Centrists Seek To Create The Moderate Party

A New Jersey Political Party, The Moderate Party, would get rid of New Jersey’s Anti-Fusion Law.

The Party’s goal is to give Centrist Voters more of a voice at a time when, the group’s Founders say, America’s Two major Parties have drifted toward the Political fringes.

But unlike traditional Third Parties, the Moderate Party hopes to nudge the Democratic and Republican Parties toward the Center, Not Replace or Compete with them.

The Moderate Party nominated Tom Malinowski, as its Candidate for the New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.

Mr. Malinowski (D), is also the Democratic Party’s Nominee for the New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.

If the Moderate Party’s Petition is denied, as expected, it will Challenge the Anti-Fusion Prohibition.

Of New Jersey’s nearly 6.5 million Registered Voters, slightly over Four million are Registered as Democrats or Republicans, leaving 2.5 million Unaffiliated Independents.

The Party, led by a core of Local Republicans, Democrats and Independents, alarmed by the GOP.’s rightward drift under Trump, has given itself a name that makes its middle-of-the-road ideological positioning crystal clear.

One of the Party’s Co-Founders is Richard A. Wolfe, a Partner at the Law firm Fried Frank, and former small-town Mayor who says he is repulsed by the Republican Party’s embrace of Conspiracy Theories and fealty toward Trump.

“Starting around 2020, my wife and I started to feel like the Republican Party no longer represented our views,” Wolfe said in an interview. “We started to get very uncomfortable with the extremism.”

But he could not bring himself to support the Democratic Party, which he views as too beholden to Left-wing Economic ideas and Cultural causes.

Feeling Politically “homeless,” Wolfe began having quiet conversations with like-minded Individuals about starting a New Political Party and stumbled across the concept of Fusion Voting, he said.

With fusion Voting, more than One Political Party can support a common Candidate. Consequently, the name of a Single Candidate can appear on the same Ballot Multiple times under Multiple Party Lines. Proponents maintain that Fusion Voting increases the Influence of Minor Parties, enabling Voters to Voice their Support for Minor Party
