Party for Socialism and Liberation Hopes to Qualify Presidential Candidate in 16 States
May 19th, 2008
The Party for Socialism and Liberation hopes to qualify its presidential candidate, Gloria La Riva, in 15 or 16 states. If the party qualifies for the ballot in 15 states, that would be the highest number of states that any socialist party has qualified in, for president, since 1988. In 1988, the Socialist Workers Party placed its presidential candidate on the ballot in 15 states plus D.C.
Generally, the party name on ballots will be “Socialism and Liberation”. The 15 states the party hopes to qualify in are Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. All these states will print the party label on the ballot except for Mississippi and Tennessee, which will just print “independent”.
The party also hopes that its presidential candidate will win the nomination of the Peace & Freedom Party in California.
