National third party aims to build governing power that represents working families

Britney Whaley says the Working Families Party is a “nondelusional political party” that’s working to build a governing power that represents working families.

Whaley, who serves as the southeast regional director of the Working Families Party, was a guest on Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look.” This episode is the second in a series that focuses on the work of third parties amid the 2024 election.

She talked with show host Rose Scott about the party’s history, mission and top priorities this election cycle. She also discussed her party’s opposition to the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center and its endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
