In past Presidential Elections, we have seen Vice Presidential candidates also run for another office. Examples Lyndon Johnson who ran for re-election to his U.S. Senate seat in 1960. This was the same for Lloyd Benson in 1988, and Joe Lieberman in 2000. However I have never known of a candidate for President also run for a city council seat. It seems kat swift has made history. She is seeking the Green Party’s nomination for President, but now is running for city council in San Antonio’s 1st District.
Even though I don’t agree with kat swift supporter, I will admit she is an interesting candidate. San Antonio’s city election will be held May 10th, which means that this race will no interfere with her presidential campaign.
However kat remains an underdog. She has only a few hundred dollars, her opponent several thousand. For this I do admire her for willingness to make a stand against incredible odds.
