Tom Hoefling running for President in 2016

Wednesday, March 3, 2016

Tom Hoefling of Iowa, the founder and national chairman of America's Party (AP), is seeking the nomination of the Constitution Party for the office of the President of the United States in 2016.

In 2012, Tom Hoefling was the presidential nominee of America's Party, and was nominated and placed on the ballot by the American Independent Party of California (AIP). According to the official tally of the Federal Elections Commission, Tom finished eighth in the 2012 general election. It is believed by the Hoefling campaign that if all of the write-in ballots in the various states had been tallied, he would have placed higher.

Hoefling, who is 55, will once again be seeking the nominations of both America's Party and the American Independent Party of California, as well as the nominations of other ballot-qualified state parties. In the states without an established ballot line, Tom will be running as an Independent candidate.

2016 – When the GOP Implodes,
Will We Be Ready?

Amidst all the hoopla of presidential debates and primaries and polls, the minor parties, the several "third parties" are lost in the dust. We seem irrelevant.

When there is a conservative Republican, the Constitution Party in particular is placed in an awkward position. After all, most of us left the Republican Party because we felt we were not being given enough conservative candidates, so most conservatives stay within the fold and vote for that losing conservative candidate.

Ron Paul, for example, absolutely killed the Constitution Party in 2008 and in 2012. Literally thousands of Texans voted for Ron Paul who would have otherwise been very likely to have joined, and even become active in our party. So we didn't make ballot access, and they had no viable choice in November. Again. (You don't think there might be a pattern developing there, do you?)

But this year, as conservatives and constitutionalists turned out to vote for Ted Cruz, we are seeing an interesting opportunity shaping up. There is more than a small possibility that the GOP will deliberately shipwreck their party before they let Ted Cruz become their nominee. Cruz, for all his faults (and he has several), is very popular in Texas. And if the GOP conspires to cut him out of the running, by hook or by crook, they are going to alienate a large segment of the electorate.
