Today, I go from one extreme to the other. Yesterday, it posted Michigan's major parties nominated the ballot's final candidates on Saturday, which ended with "stay tuned for a final story about the minor party nominees for state and federal office followed by the final entry of the month." Today, I pass along the news about Michigan’s newest political party, the Working Class Party. From the Working Class Party's website, here are its candidates.
The new party has chosen its candidates for the 2016 elections: Gary Walkowicz for U.S. Congress, district 12; Sam Johnson for U.S. Congress, district 13; and Mary Anne Hering for the State Board of Education, which is a state-wide position.The Working Class Party is the most far left (as opposed to far out--they're next) party on the ballot in Michigan. They're not just Communist, they're Trotskyite. Fortunately, I think they'll do very little harm to the other left parties in the districts where they are running; there are enough lefties to go around in the 12th, where the Greens are fielding a candidate, and there is no Green running in the 13th, so the Working Class Party has the disaffected far left all to itself.
Oddly enough, the Working Class Party could have endorsed a candidate for president and put them on the ballot, but they didn't. Perhaps they'll vote for the candidates of the most far out party in Michigan, the Natural Law Party. Follow over the jump for their candidates.
