Rocky Anderson is running for President in Oregon on the Progressive Party ticket. He's the co-founder of the new Justice Party, which has much in common with other left-leaning parties, like the Progressive Party and the Pacific Green Party.
He's had a long career in politics, having served as mayor of Salt Lake City. He's been endorsed by citizen activists and former candidate Ralph Nader — and he has an interesting past relationship with the current presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.
Top Progressive Party of Oregon issues include:
- Campaign finance reform
- Fair Taxation
- Investment in sustainable energy
- A single-payer health care system
