Edits to make
Quote - “Zack Exley, former Sanders advisor and a founding member of Brand New Congress”

End 2nd paragraph in history - “As of October 2016, the group is accepting nominations for future candidates and is openly developing its economic platform.” 6

Plan to run 400 by july, add reference 1

Both republican and democrats end paragraph 1 add ref 2

Switch sentence last in paragraph 1, should read ''The group intends to run both Democratic and Tea Party Republican candidates, depending on regional demographics, as well as independents when an incumbent wins the primary. Brand New Congress requires candidates to align on Bernie Sander’s presidential platform, regardless of party affiliation. While there are large differences in Republican and Democratic policy beliefs, the Brand New Congress hopes that people will unify under the goal of reforming Congress.'' (3)

Candidate list
We don't keep lists of info only sourced to primary sources (Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information). The addition was contested per BRD, so it comes here. If the candidates are worth mentioning, a reliable, secondary source will discuss them—not blogs, not BNC's own website, not their own campaign sites, but newspapers and magazines with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Also we do not link external links in the middle of the article as they were originally added. czar 22:01, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
