The Reform Party of the United States has released a full list of endorsements for the 2024 election cycle, supporting a slate of candidates for local, state, and federal office across seven states. The party previously announced some endorsements, but this list is its most detailed to date.
The list was published last week by the Reform Party’s Communications Committee and includes 16 down-ballot candidates, most of whom are either affiliated with the Alliance Party or who are running as independent candidates.
The party is also maintaining its previous presidential endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., despite Kennedy suspending his campaign in September and supporting Republican Donald Trump. Kennedy continues to remain on the ballot in several states.
The party is backing Joyce Lacey, the Independence-Alliance Party nominee for U.S. Senate in Minnesota, as well as Dan Osbourn, an independent senate candidate in Nebraska. It is also supporting five congressional candidates.
Among them are independent Ron Tupa in Colorado’s seventh district, write-in candidate James Triebert in Colorado’s eighth district, independent Shelane Etchison in North Carolina’s ninth district, Alliance Party nominee Michael Bedenbaugh in South Carolina’s third district, and Alliance Party nominee Joe Oddo in South Carolina’s sixth district.
The Reform Party is also involved in several state-level races, having made endorsements for multiple Alliance Party candidates running for the South Carolina state legislature, an unaffiliated candidate for a District Court position in North Carolina, and an Independence-Alliance Party candidate in Minnesota.
On a local level, the party is supporting five candidates for municipal and county office, including three in North Carolina—one of which is running as a write-in candidate, as well as one in South Carolina and another in Illinois.
“The party is also maintaining its previous endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the the presidential race. Though Kennedy suspended his campaign in September and ultimately chose to support Republican nominee Donald Trump, his name still remains on the ballot in a number of states.”
Good on them!
