The CPUSA does run candidates for elected office, both as communists and as independent candidates for local office, sometimes on slates of progressives, sometimes for non-partisan offices. However, we don’t yet run candidates in many places. This is due to several factors: our small size, the financial and resource demands of campaigns and the high costs of advertising, and also to the numerous restrictions that still exist in many places to so-called “third party” candidates.
