Truly nonpartisan
Partisanship and political polarization are on the rise. This affects nonpartisan positions like school board and city council. United Springfield will unite Republicans, Democrats, Independents - and everyone in between – to ensure our nonpartisan races remain nonpartisan.

Why now?
It is critical we unite our efforts to come alongside individuals by helping remove increasing barriers to local public service. Both political polarization and costs of running a campaign are on the rise. We're taking a stand: nonpartisan elected officials serve Springfield better without the influence of divisive partisan politics.

So, what can you do about it?
Good question! We will only engage in nonpartisan races: Mayor, City Council, and School Board. We will support individuals running for those offices who unite our Springfield children, citizens, and community. Because we only support nonpartisan races, United Springfield is a home for everyone who believes in our mission.
