Nascent Independence Party Allies Itself with One Faction of Reform Party
December 29th, 2007
Frank MacKay, state chair of the New York Independence Party, has been trying to create a national Independence Party. His first goal has been to bring the handful of other state Independence Parties into a national Independence Party organization. The Minnesota Independence Party will hold a state convention on January 26 and decide whether to become part of that national party. Other ballot-qualified parties that share that name, or a similar name, include parties in Delaware, Oregon and South Carolina.
More recently, MacKay has wooed the Reform Party, specifically the national faction headed by Rodney Martin, which has been on a winning streak in various lawsuits during 2007 to establish itself as “the” Reform Party. That faction of the Reform Party is holding a national conference in Sacramento on December 29-30, and MacKay will speak to the group.
MacKay hopes that Mike Bloomberg will become the presidential nominee of the Independence Party, should Bloomberg decide to run for president.
