A socialist newsweekly published in the interests of working people
Vol. 64/No. 42November 6, 2000

 
Vote Socialist Workers in 2000
Working-class alternative to parties of big business
 
Listed below are the Socialist Workers candidates for federal office in the 2000 elections. The socialist presidential and vice-presidential candidates, James Harris and Margaret Trowe, are on the ballot in 13 states--Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington State, and Wisconsin--and the District of Columbia. Due to undemocratic election laws designed to keep working-class candidates off the ballot, most of the Socialist Workers candidates will not appear on the ballot. In such cases, the candidates are running as write-ins and their names have been indicated with an asterisk (*). Union acronyms are listed at bottom of page.
