The 2024 List of Noncorporate Progressive Candidates Running for National Office

"Noncorporate" means they reject corporate contributions, which means they are "progressive."

The 2024 List of Noncorporate Progressive Candidates Running for National Office

UPDATED: September 26, 2023

The 2024 List of Noncorporate Progressive Candidates is a free resource that highlights “unbought” political candidates—whether Democrat, 3rd Party, or Independent. The list does not endorse any political candidates. It aims to help voters vet the candidates.

More importantly, the list is a statement about the corrupting influence of Big Money in politics. If you hate the hold that wealthy special interests have over the American government and political system, then elect people to office who do not take their money—thereby cutting puppet strings, one by one. (Also see anti-corruption legislation that could be proposed, one day.)

The 2024 List of Noncorporate Progressive Candidates is different from my previous lists. NO Republican candidates are reviewed or included this time. That is because, for now, the GOP is governed by Trumpian far-right extremists and poses a real fascist threat to our nation.

If you would like to support my work on this project, please consider a paid subscription. And, of course, share and bookmark the list. It will update nearly every day, until the 2024 General Election. Thank you!

2024 Progressive Policies

Here is a “word cloud” of progressive platform policies. It combines all the progressive policies that are supported by individual noncorporate candidates running for national office in 2024.

A blue wave of progressive policies in 2024.

Feel free to download the word cloud image. Use it. Share it. Together, we create progress.


Stay tuned. This is just the beginning (August, 2023).

Listed candidates are vetted in the following ways:

  1. A statement on a candidate’s campaign website that declares they reject corporate contributions.

  2. A social media or email reply that confirms the candidate rejects corporate contributions.

  3. A review of an incumbent candidate’s past fundraising on OpenSecrets.

  4. Candidates who accept campaign contributions from AIPAC and/or its United Democracy Project Super PAC are rejected from the list. AIPAC aims to block progressive candidates.
