The American Solidarity Party candidate for 2024 is Peter Sonski, a former radio host, journalist and U.S. Marine. Sonski won the ASP primary and nomination of the party for President of the United States on June 3, 2023.[1][2] The primary was conducted by an online members' vote. The vice presidential nominee, Lauren Onak, was selected by Sonski before the national convention in early July in Plano, Texas, and she was formally nominated there.[3] As of October 2024, the party is on the ballot in Arkansas, Alaska, Florida, Ohio, Hawaii, Louisiana and Mississippi and is a registered write in a further 36 states.[4]

Background

The American Solidarity Party, founded in 2011, first contested a presidential campaign in 2016 getting ballot access to one state and earning 6,697 votes. In 2020 they were on the ballot on 8 states and received 42,305 votes. For their 2024 attempt it was announced on June 2, 2023, that Peter Sonski had won their party's online primary, which lasted from May 24 to June 1 of that year, in which all ASP members could vote. Sonski was nominated in the first round of ranked-choice voting with 52%. Sonski then selected Lauren Onak as his vice president, who was then officially nominated via unanimous consent of the delegates at the national convention.

Sonski and Onak

Peter Sonski (born July 11, 1962) is an American former radio host, who served as an elected member of Connecticut's Regional School District 17 Board of Education and as director of the Knights of Columbus Museum.[7][8][9][10][11]

Campaign

In September 2023 Crossview Podcast interviewed Sonski with a discussion of "faith, the duopoly and third parties, government’s role in handling Covid, immigration, foreign policy, moral issues, education, and more."[12]

In December 2023 Fr. Dwight Longenecker published an interview on The Stream in which "Sonski explained that third parties provide thoughtful alternatives and allow other voices to be heard, and this is important in a democratic system."[13]

In January 2024 Catholic News Agency interviewed Sonski in which he said that "he wants to provide a means for Catholics to vote in accord with the conscience, rather than just for the 'lesser of two evils.'"[14] Crisis Magazine also published an interview, by Fr. Dwight Longenecker, which describes how Sonski "was born into a blue-collar Catholic family and went on to work in agriculture, insurance, journalism, and public relations."[15]

In April Christianity Today reported that Evangelicals disaffected with the two main parties were beginning to get their support. [16]

In June The ERLC of the Southern Baptist Church were the first major protestant organisation to give them coverage with a four-part series that looked at the various parties in the election. [17]

In July soon after the Republican National Convention the campaign was reviewed by the National Review who characterized them as the only current anti-abortion party over and against the Democratic and the Republican party, the latter especially so because of a perceived softening of their stance on abortion in their platform which they released at their convention.[18] Aleteia published an interview of Sonski in which he described the American Solidarity Party as “predominantly centrist – a little right on social issues, a little left on fiscal issues."[19]

Also that month EWTN's News In Depth interviewed Sonski in which he said, "My faith informs all my decisions." [20]

In August American Reformer magazine acknowledging that evangelicals critical of Donald Trump were "flocking to the American Solidarity party" wrote a critical assessment of the campaign urging evangelicals to think twice before voting for Sonski, stating that "stakes are too high too high and the country on the brink" and that "at the presidential level votes should not be wasted on quixotic schemes" [21]

Later in August, New Jersey Republicans attempted to keep Sonski off the New Jersey ballot, claiming some of his ballot access signatures were invalid.[22]

Again in August the Evangelical organisation the Gospel Coalition published a comparisons article of the two main parties platforms for the election and the American Solidarity party and Constitution party platforms. [23]

That same month another catholic magazine The Pillar profiled the campaign, with an interview with Sonski [24]

NCR did a piece on how difficult it was for the Sonski campaign to get Ballot access during the election. [25]
