On April 28, the American Independent Party held its state convention in Sacramento and nominated Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for president. The party has been ballot-qualified continuously longer than any state political party in any state, other than the Democratic and Republican state parties and the New York Conservative Party. It was formed in 1967 to help George Wallace get on the ballot. In 2020, its presidential nominee was Rocky De La Fuente, who was also the nominee of the Alliance Party.
The new state chair of the AIP is Victor Marani.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. filmed an announcement about the nomination, and he noted the irony that the party had been a supporter of Wallace in 1968, who, as Kennedy said, at the time opposed everything that Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. believed in. But, as Kennedy said, the party has changed. One of its nominees for the state legislature this year, Andre Sandford, is African-American.
