Ever since 1979, the organization founded by Lyndon LaRouche has been running candidates for public office as Democrats. In 2014, so far, the organization is running Kesha Rogers for U.S. Senate in the Texas Democratic primary, and also running Michael Steger for U.S. House in California’s 12th district in San Francisco.

Before 1979, the organization was called the U.S. Labor Party, and its candidates ran under that party label.
