Does the Labor Party run candidates?
Unlike other political parties, public officials elected by the Labor Party will be accountable to the party membership and required to follow the positions outlined in the party platform. At our 1998 convention, delegates adopted an electoral strategy which calls for running candidates for positions where they can help enact and enforce laws and policies to benefit the working class and where we can best advance the goals and priorities of the Labor Party. Our electoral strategy includes local and state ballot initiatives on issues such as health care, education and energy policy. Read our Electoral Statement.
