The Working Class Party (WCP) is a left-wing political party, based in Detroit, Michigan, United States.[1][2][3][4] The Working Class Party competed in the 2016 Michigan election, presenting three candidates. The party filed twelve candidates in the 2020 election, five for the U.S. Congress, two for the Michigan State Board of Education, and five for the Michigan House of Representatives.[5] As of November 2022, the party has ballot access in Illinois, Maryland and Michigan.[6]
Other candidates who shared many of the same ideas as the Working Class Party appeared as "non-partisan" (independent) candidates on the ballot in Chicago in 2015; in Baltimore in 2016 and 2020; and in Los Angeles in 2018.[7][8][9]
