The Parent Party’s mission is to advance the national movement of empowering parents to take back control of their child’s education by advocating for parental school choice, empowering citizens to take back control of our democracy by advocating for term limits for all elected officials and empowering local law enforcement to take back control of our streets and keeping our communities safe by opposing the radical Defund The Police efforts. This national movement supports political candidates (at every level, Democrat, Republican or Independent) who believe parents should have the freedom and independence to decide what education their child should receive and opposes those political candidates who impede these fundamental rights of parents.
