The Constitution Party has published a list of priorities for the new year, including plans to expand state ballot access and establish new state committees. The party also plans to launch a national initiative at its next national meeting in Pennsylvania centered on the country’s founding principles.
In a December year-end message, Constitution Party National Chair Justin Magill presented several areas of focus as the organization prepares for the 2026 election cycle. He said the party intends to prioritize expanding ballot access in states where it seeks to place candidates on the ballot without relying on repeated petitioning efforts, stating that the goal is to establish the party as a “viable vehicle” in those regions.
Magill added that the party will also continue efforts to build new affiliates at the state and county levels, which it regards as a key component of “nurturing the grassroots.” He has previously called on members to focus on institutional growth in communications since becoming national chair. As part of those efforts, the Constitution Party plans to prioritize voter registration drives, volunteer recruitment, and the formation of new state committees in areas where it does not currently have an organized presence.
“Many states determine a political party’s status by the number of registered voters they have,” Magill wrote. “By diverting registrations away from the DEMGOP monopoly, we threaten their status, funding, and their narrative of being the only option.”
Beyond expanding its state-level presence, Magill said the party plans to continue upgrading its national website, which underwent a significant redesign last July for the first time in several years. Additional interactive features are expected to roll out throughout the coming year.
In separate details posted on its website, the Constitution Party also announced plans to launch a new “Road to Independence Initiative” during its Spring National Committee Meeting and Issues Conference, scheduled for May 15–16 in Philadelphia. The event will be hosted by the Constitution Party of Pennsylvania and will coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The upcoming initiative will include the Founders’ Challenge, which the party has previously said is an educational effort encouraging people of all ages to study the nation’s founding documents, historical figures, and originalist ideals. While registration details have not yet been made public, the party said the initiative will focus on promoting the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, with additional details expected to be released in early 2026.
What about focusing on the 250-year anniversary of our nation? There is going to be allot of 250-year anniversary events this year. The members of the Constitution Party should participate in some of those events or create their own events.
There’s an exciting opportunity ahead, for those whom espouse the principles of good, moral, & accountable governance. The Constitution Party is not perfect, but it is the closest thing, politically available, that resembles the vision of greatness and potential within the philosophy of self governance, that the founders and framers of our country & constitution envisioned for their posterity. As long as the membership & the party’s leadership stays on target with NOT engaging in the “all too familiar” methods espoused by the Democratic and Republican parties, which leads so many people into an independent status and mistrust of the ‘establishment ‘ parties control over the political process. ….

I have voted for the Constitution Party Presidential Candidate on several occasions, the last time being in 2008.
There are many very fine hardworking people in the CP and the stated ideas for development and growth all sound good.
It is hence so disheartening that The Controllers of the party have done the exact opposite of what is proclaimed by attacking and intentionally destroying multiple party affiliates inclusive of myself in California.
The knife in my back, as also minimally with betrayals of Illinois and South Dakota, comes from the Masonic religious foundation of The Controllers; a totally opposite motivation from the mass majority of the members and fully explained by the work of Altiyan Childs.
With this backstabbing poisonous base of betrayal the CP will, purposefully, never advance to fulfill its wonderful possibilities much less return to the heights it reached when its wonderful Founder, Howard Phillips, was wíth us.
So much potential and wonderful possibilities.
All, purposefully, gone.
