The Centrist Project is an American grassroots organization founded by economist Charlie Wheelan with the goal of encouraging independent candidates to run for public office. While not a political party, the project intended to endorse slates of independent candidates and provide them with campaign infrastructure, financing and support.[1]
The project is focused on what it calls the "Fulcrum Strategy," electing enough independents to the United States Senate to deny both major parties a majority of seats.[2][3]
Affiliated politicians include: Alaska Governor Bill Walker, Iowa state senator David Johnson, Greg Orman, and Evan McMullin.[4]
