Independent Political Report is your source for grassroots news and updates on American third party and independent political activity, including candidates, parties, ballot access, and internal developments.
Founded in 2008, IPR was built to document a side of the political landscape that often receives limited or inconsistent coverage. The site does not endorse candidates or parties. Instead, it focuses on making information about alternative and emerging political efforts accessible to readers, researchers, and other publications.
IPR has published more than 21,500 articles and facilitated over 341,000 reader comments. Its reporting has been cited by outlets across the political spectrum, including Politico, Reason, The Hill, The Daily Caller, and The Washington Post, reflecting its role as a consistent source of information on developments outside the two major parties.
IPR is published by the Outsider Media Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to broadening public understanding of political activity beyond the major parties. In keeping with that mission, the site maintains the grassroots-driven approach first established by its founder, Jason “G.E.” Seagraves.
