The Reform Party recently published an annual report examining the party’s highlights in 2023 and outlining its main focus for 2024. This report was drafted by Reform Party Chair Nicholas Hensley and published on the party website last Wednesday.
According to Hensley’s report, the Reform National Committee initially experienced problems at the start of the year but recovered by April. It hired its first paid staffers in two decades to help with social media and fundraising and saw an overall growth in party membership.
“Outside of these professional hires, the Reform Party has gained a lot of new members and are organizing new state affiliates,” Hensley writes. “A few years ago, we added a new affiliate in Montana. It has since been accompanied by new affiliates in Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.”
Additionally, the Reform Party held its 2023 national convention in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, making it the first in-person event for supporters since 2016. Party leadership also rewrote the organization’s bylaws, with Hensley referring to issues with the old bylaws as “profound and all encompassing.”
For 2024, the report outlines five key areas where the Reform National Committee will focus. These include building the party’s online presence and redesigning its infrastructure, such as its logo and slogan. Additionally, the party plans to expand its core base and increase volunteer recruitment efforts, identify new donors and viable candidates, expand its ballot access, and improve response time to current events.
